If they don't end up as part of the new lineup of contrib libraries,
would you at least keep them on github.com?

Rich, could you comment on the process for picking new names for the
libraries? I got the impression that Clojure/core were trying to do a
bit of cleanup there by introducing a better namespace structure for
the libraries that survive 1.3.0? (which is definitely a good step
forward)

For example, clojure.contrib.sql will survive as clojure.java.jdbc.

That process requires actions by members of the Clojure organization -
https://github.com/clojure - and the folks who manage the Hudson build
server - http://build.clojure.org/people/ - so you do need to get
those people engaged in helping you move your contrib libraries into
the new world.

I forked clojure.java.jdbc to get a first cut build in place once that
new contrib library was approved. Part of the work is setting up the
maven stuff correctly and then cleaning up any dependencies on old
contrib libraries. I'm already using clojure.java.jdbc 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
in my own code while I am waiting to engage with Stephen Gilardi and
the other folks to get the code back into the Clojure repo and onto
Hudson.

I'd definitely like to see the monads library move forward (and I
think -?> and -?>> should be considered for core, alongside -> and

libraries to have an opinion (c.c.sql was the only one I was relying
on - but since we just started integrating Clojure into our production
code base, I may well start to depend on others :)
