One thing I forgot to mention: it'd be nice to have Marginalia support, since it can be used not only for annotated source code, but also for documentation with embedded tests (although, two-column layout doesn't fit very well for this purpose, but it's another question). > That's true. The

John Gabriele: > Opinions? Concerns? Wild praise? Searing complaints? General disinterest? This is a great initiative but so far it seems to focus only on the API reference part of documentation. I personally think that documentation guides are just as important [1]. For clojurewerkz.org projec
