not much. Used SCSH and CL each for one project in the past 
(completed 
successfully)

pretty often.

definitely.

None. There has been significant growth in the lisp user base, and 
every other day (or week), there are releases of more useful tools and 
libraries.

Not right now. Better ask me in a few years (-:

Not as such.

Not as often as I'd like. There is no local Lisp user group where I 
live yet, but sometimes, when Rudi Schlatte is in town, we meet up. 
  
Interested: definitely. What lispers there are in Vienna would 
certainly profit from networking.
