A few months ago, while I was on a Lisp kick, I looked into installing and trying the UnCommon Web framework but I was put off on how difficult it was to install.

Well, it looks like some folks have worked to make it easy to install. At this nice page, they offer a UCW “boxset”, which you untar and it has everything you need to get going. I tried it and it worked like a charm with sbcl on Ubuntu. The same page offers a tutorial, which looks good, but I haven’t tried it yet.
