I'd be happy to contribute to a library that met the following requirements: - A sensible open source license (LGPL or EPL are fine) - As simple as possible (minimal dependencies and API surface area) - Designed for plug+play with the related libraries in the ecosystem (core.async, http-kit, ring etc.) - Reasonable community consensus that it is a good design BTW chord looks pretty promising as a foundation / model for some of this kind of work https://github.com/james-henderson/chord -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
