Hello Richard, any contributions to test_clojure are very welcome! As a general rule to contribute, you need to fill-in and mail the CA: http://clojure.org/contributing
When Rich receives your CA and updates the clojure.org website, you can start creating issues in clojure-contrib and attaching patches to it. Example: http://code.google.com/p/clojure-contrib/issues/detail?id=22 Then somebody can come and check-in your tests. After a while, you could get your own clojure-contrib check-in rights, but that is solely Rich's decision. I am currently writing tests for java_interop, so please don't do any of those now. http://code.google.com/p/clojure-contrib/source/browse/trunk/src/clojure/contrib/test_clojure/java_interop.clj Good way to contribute is also to write regression tests as for example in vars: http://code.google.com/p/clojure-contrib/source/browse/trunk/src/clojure/contrib/test_clojure/vars.clj Files in test_clojure represent different areas - feel free to take your pick and do whatever you like :-) Happy testing, Frantisek On Jun 4, 6:31 pm, Richard Newman <holyg...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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.
