Yup, there are still a lot of outdated tutorials and material out there which has not been updated from Clojure 1.2. It certainly didn't help that Manning Books went ahead and released Clojure in Action - based on Clojure 1.2 and the old monolithic contrib library - after Clojure 1.3 was already released. The best we can do is keep asking people who wrote old material to either update it or take it down. Sounds like emails to satishtalim [at] gmail [dot] com are in order for Clojure Notes since it even has links to the very old richhickey github repo :( > My suggestion is: can we minimize major changes like this. This was a one-off change that was done early enough in Clojure's evolution that the vast majority of Clojure developers - present and future - wouldn't have to deal with it. Modulo getting outdated tutorials updated, of course :) > Also, it looks like you are calling for people to take care of individual > modules in clojure.contrib on github, so I'm (reluctantly) volunteering, > although if there are any problems, I'm not sure what I can do. http://clojure.org/contributing is the first step. Some of the justification for the reorg of contrib is here - but this whole section of the wiki is good reading around contrib library care and feeding: http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Better+infrastructure+for+contributed+libs -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.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.
