As the start of this thread mentioned, we are moving to a new infrastructure around Confluence and JIRA, which should be (1) easier to use and in and of itself, and (2) allow a chance to improve documentation and streamline every aspect of contributing to Clojure. I am hoping we can roll onto JIRA as soon as next week.
I am excited by this thread and hope that the energy being shown here will translate into specific efforts to improve the colaboration process for everyone.
