## TL;DR

The Clojure documentation project [1] started off quite actively. With
several new guides and a dozen of contributors,
the resource is already quite useful to newcomers to the language. We
believe this is directly related
to our straightforward contribution process.


## CDS Progress Report

A week ago we announced the new Clojure Documentation Site [1] (a.k.a. CDS)
effort. The level of activity
in the first week exceeded our expectations and we thought it may be a good
idea to publish periodic reports
(every week or two) to give the Clojure community a better idea of what CDS
shapes up to be and what it has to offer.

So lets start. This is a report for the week ending October 14th, 2012.


## In a Gist

In the first week of CDS, we have added

 * 2 new tutorials and 6 new and 2 expanded guides
 * About 4,000 lines of changes in the content directory (does not include
CSS or toolchain-related changes)
 * 14 merged pull requests
 * 13 contributors
 * About 1,400 unique visitors
 * About 6,000 page views with average visit duration of 2 minutes and 10
seconds

In addition, we have ironed out first issues in the contribution process
and set up an IRC channel (`#clojure-doc` on `irc.freenode.net`) when
contributors coordinate their work.
