Thank you Stu - much appreciated that Clojure/core are listening on this and recognize the need for a change. > 2.

Anyone with decent writing skills (i.e., not me) who wants to use my blog post as a basis for that, I'm happy to donate to the cause. The only reason I haven't already edited that page to be a version of my blog post is because I thought it might be controversial and upset people if the Getting+Started page suddenly recommended Leiningen, a REPL and simple text editing to get people up and running... > 2b.

I'm happy to move / rewrite any of my blog posts over to the dev wiki so resources are more centralized - if ppl think I have any posts of valid to folks Getting+Started (perhaps my Clojure and SQL one, focusing on clojure.java.jdbc?). I don't consider myself much of a writer so I'd value any editorial assistance folks feel inclined to give. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
