The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Help with CLHS license
A possible approach could be to load the GCL info files from here: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec/tree/main/info

Is there a version of Hyperspec with better user experience?
This is our best bet, I think. We should all contribute and make it better: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec

HyperSpec rendition produced from ANSI spec draft
A very crude first version can be found at https://cl-community-spec.github.io/pages/index.html. I called it community-spec, because ideally, after I have the generated HTML on an okay-ish level (which will still take some time probably), corrections to the output could be made by anyone who finds an error. The repository can be found here: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec

Legal question on using the HyperSpec
Someone already pointed me to them on GitHub: https://github.com/fonol/cl-community-spec/issues/2 The new version that is online now is actually made from the sources already.

Common Lisp Implementations in 2023
But no one is stopping you from building a "full modern standard library". I am doing just that with https://github.com/galdor/tungsten. Of course it would be nice to have a large company do all the work as it is the case for Go, but it is not going to happen. As always, you either do the work yourself or pay someone to do it.
The specification is limited, no doubt about that, but I am convinced that any modernization effort would end up in a huge mess with everyone trying to inject their own preferences from the languages they already know with no regard for the spirit of the original specification.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cl-community-spec and tungsten you can also consider the following projects:
ql-https - HTTPS support for Quicklisp via curl
parrot - A cross-platform Common Lisp editor
quicklisp-client - Quicklisp client.
ready-lisp - A distribution of Aquamacs, SBCL and SLIME which offers the simplest way to run Common Lisp on Mac OS X
