A while back I wrote some code for clj-refactor to help out when adding a new project dependency. When you call this function, in emacs, you get a completing read of an artifact id, a completing read of available versions, and it then updates your project.clj and hotloads the new dependency into the repl.
Retrieving the required data from clojars was entirely trivial, but then I noticed the most important projects were missing, because they were hosted on Maven central! Having all Clojure artifacts in one place would make it a lot easier to write programs consuming said artifacts.
