True, while we wait for someone to actually build such a site I recommend that you ask your questions on: 1) The mailing list 2) #clojure channel at irc.freenode.net 3) StackOverflow In all three places you'll get nice friendly answers pronto. Two other useful things at the REPL are (doc function-name) and (source function-name). David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
