Hi Tom,

I might not be even remotely qualified but since I'm interested and
find the idea cool, so here's my take:

No idea :)

I would think a good place to start is to define the primitives and
goals:
Primitives: assume existence of monitors in Clojure
Goals: Implement dosync in Clojure (hefty goal :))

I would love to help out in any capacity since I myself want to get
started with understand the STM in more detail. If you need a
volunteer you may contact me personally.

Thanks
