I can offer you support .... but only very heavily qualified.  Lisp really isn't one of the languages that I'm familiar with, I'm afraid, so you'll do better with technical questions on it elsewhere.  Mind you, it's a long time since I wrote a syntax analyser or interpreter (I've never done a complete compiler myself) so you may come up with some intresting questions that stretch me back into the past.

Strong recommendation - as you're new to both Lisp and compiler writing, start with books or longer on line articles and pracise on some simple syntax analyses first.  That will get you up to speed on basic principles.   Please don't try to do the whole thing through question and answer sessions here, as the forum medium is great for nailing the occasional awkward questions, but poor at handling the marathon tutorial requiments.
