Thank you for that, I hadn't found that feature. It specifically isn't working for me with wikipedia or google maps, although it works beautifully for a couple other test cases.

I agree with you about google's spell check, relevance, and speed.
DDG's !bang search is a killer feature for me, though. I can type "!wikipedia topic" in the omnibar and it gets me to the exact page I'm looking for, without stopping at a middleman. The same feature makes google maps, images, videos, and youtube easier to use to with ddg as my default search than with google as my default search. I have been surprised by the amount of search traffic that I redirect to something other than a general web search now that it is convenient for me to do so.
Those are all good resources. On top of that, Xach just posted[1] the number of times that libraries have been recently downloaded from quicklisp. I have been having fun checking out the most downloaded libraries.
I prefer common-lisp.net for finding a project's webpage and mailing list, but cliki has a useful section that lists projects by category.
How often do you see a comment on hn with positive votes that tells people to "Cry me a fucking river"?
