I would second this.

First, much thanks to everyone for the feedback and suggestions. It
really helps.
One of my interests is sharing my enthusiasm for Clojure by exposing
it in an accessible, educational and fun way to developers. From this
standpoint, the 4clojure project is very interesting to me. Clojars

It feels to me that in addition to asking which open source projects would be
useful/beneficial for novices to hack on, it would be useful to have a list of
open source projects that are useful/beneficial for novices to read and
understand.
One thing that Clojure has taught me is that code read

Well, it's not really discouraging. Or at least, I don't see it that
way. I see it more like encouraging to contribute but not regardless
of personal interest. Personal interest
I don't see what you're getting at. "I want to implement something big
all by myself, please tell me what to do" is not productive for the
community, and not helpful for the novice asking. "I want to get my
feet wet, could anybody use some basic help?" is good for everyone
involved.
I disapprove o
Not long ago I was faced with the same dilemma: I am learning clojure
and to practise and improve my skills I'd like to contribute to an
open source project. Which one should I pick?
And then I came across this: http://prog21.dadgum.com/80.html

dbyrne is writing a sort of interactive "learn clojure by problem-

I'm learning Clojure also, and have been working through some of the
project euler problems. (Got started on it from the labrepl
introduction.) It has been a lot of fun and I think I'm learning a
fair amount about how the language works.

I'd like to second that. Since I started with Clojure it got me, but I
need some practice, so if anyone needs enthusiastic workforce please
let me know also.
To Carin: Good luck in learning Clojure, should be pretty demanding
but it will be great if we learn it.

I have fallen for Clojure. I would love to be able to practice and
hone my skills while contributing something to an open source
project. Do you have any suggestions for projects that might have
some low-hanging fruit for a newish person like me. Any floors that
need sweeping?
