The emacs community is pretty good for supporting elispers but
I don't know of any tutor style lists. ( So far as I know this list is 
fairly
unique! There is something like it for PHP but it didn't seem to cater
for total newbies to the same exxtent.)

My experience is the best support for learning was in Scheme.
They had the easiest IDEs, good forums/newsgroups (ie not too
many RTFMs!)

But i only play with Lisp these days so am well out of date.

The best Lisp tutorial IMHO is the How To Design Programs
web site/book (htdp.org?)

HTH,
