This suggestion ignores the fact that most newcomers are much more likely to head to clojure.org instead of some third party site and expect clojure.org to be at least somewhat helpful. Currently I advice Clojure newcomers to not use clojure.org for anything, it is hopelessly outdated, reference-oriented and will only confuse them more. Unsurprisingly, this does not encourage newcomers as they think that many other things are hopelessly broken and outdated in this community. clojure.org needs change, adding a yet another link won't help.
