One of the things that occurred to me at last night's Meetup is that
there seems to be a sizable group of people who are keen on
contributing to Clojure, including basic "drudge" work. It also seems
apparent that having a decent test suite is valuable (if only for the
sake of appearances and adoption), though I tend to agree that it's
not a good use of Rich's time.

While this contribution would indeed be easier with git, I'm
disinclined to wait: I'm personally intending to take a look at the
existing tests in contrib, and if I can figure out the test framework,
I'll crank out a few tests for the core.

If a few people did this, tests will accrue over time.

Perhaps more importantly, if we manage to inculcate the attitude that
questions, bugs, and misunderstandings should be captured as tests,
then the important areas — edge cases and bug fixes — will grow
coverage, all without Rich wasting his time.

Thoughts? Opinions? Advice on the test framework? Would my time be
better spent documenting what I learn about the test framework? Should
I go back to bed and get more sleep? :)
