I have being trying to engage community and to contribute to clojurescript for 
a while already,  
but so far it's being mostly frustrating and difficult. I hope to start 
discussion here and maybe
get some constructive outcome.

## Rationale

I'm primarily interested in clojurescript and not at all in clojure, because of 
specific reasons (that
I'll skip since their irrelevant for this discussion) dependency on JVM is a 
problem. Removing
that's dependency is also my primary motivation to contribute.  

## Problems

- I do understand that most of the clojurescript audience is probably also 
interested in clojure,
  but please don't enforce that. Have a separate mailing list so that people 
interested in
  clojurescript and not clojure could follow relevant discussions without 
manually filtering out
  threads.

- What is the point of being on github if you don't accept pull requests and 
require I do understand
  that there maybe specific reasons why jira flow was chosen, but seriously 
that's another ball
  thrown at potential contributor to joggle. Not to mention that there are 
several options how
  jira and github could be integrated.

- My latest attempt was to configure travis.ci for integration tests
  https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/pull/21
   
   Integration tests are great specially because they run on every pull request 
and post details back
   into pull requests. This also means that lot of local test run time can be 
saved. Not to mention that
   for clojurescript tests you need JVM, v8, spidermonkey and more…

If these things are intentionally made hard to stop new people with more 
clojurescipt interests then please
make it more clear, cause otherwise it just a motivation killer.  

Thanks
