Suggestions of endeavors using clojure for something worthwhile itself seems like an entirely worthwhile discussion if people can resist the temptation to debate what worthwhile means and to disagree with other people's concept of worthwhile. For example, here's a recipe for a useful discussion: If you know of activity X that you in good faith believe is worthwhile or, more specifically, (and I'm guessing at RIch's original intention so I could be wrong) philanthropic then post about X. If you disagree with a poster about whether X is worthwhile, do not post.
