Yes, I'd seen some of these discussions. I'm still _VERY_ much a n00b when it comes to clojure, so I'd urge people not to take my comments too seriously; but I think you're right. At least from my perspective it doesn't much matter what's in or out of the 1.0 contrib release, it's just more a matter of saying "Contrib 1.0 works with clojure 1.0" and will receive bug fixes etc... alongside it. Hopefully the 1.0 release will see a lot more people adopting clojure. It would be nice for these newcomers to easily see what each project's commitment to clojure 1.0 and clojure trunk is. Initially I'd guess this applies in particular to the various projects providing editor/IDE support and the clojure web frameworks. > On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 7:36 PM, Rick Moynihan <rick.moyni...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> r 1.1) but It'd be great to see releases of these libraries that >> specifically target the 1.0 release of clojure. >> >> Does this mean a changing role for Contrib?
