Rayne I loved try clojure! Congrats! I really want to help but running out of time for now. I'll take my hands on that as soon as possible. Cheers. 2010/11/4 Rayne : > Right. One of the most important aspects of a site like this is it's > tutorial. The tutorial should be interactive, much like tr

I'm not sure, but I think I might have convinced Chris Done to allow pasting into the REPL. In any case, all tutorial examples are clickable (they are thrown into the REPL), which was my way of trying to work around those issues. Anybody is welcome to patch tryclojure's version of jquery-console (a

Pete, Would you feel comfortable working on the jquery-console upgrade? That's entirely a Javascript issue, and I'd be happy to find another piece to work on. I actually prefer working in Clojure, and only took on the jquery-console upgrade task because it seemed important. Let me know if you're

That would be great. Any sort of problems with the console are very likely to be related to jquery-console, so updating it might fix them. I actually hadn't heard of that bug. Probably not a good sign, since it might mean that people spend very little time with tryclojure. ;) On Nov 4, 7:40 pm, E

Last time I introduced someone to Clojure via try-clojure.org, he came back later and said that the console ignored him after a while, and he wasn't sure what he did wrong. We tried it together, and after a couple minutes it stopped evaluating expressions. Does this bug sound familiar? Unfortunatel

Right. One of the most important aspects of a site like this is it's tutorial. The tutorial should be interactive, much like tryhaskell's tutorial. That's one of the biggest things that needs to be done. Beyond that, tutorial authors would be great as well. If somebody feels like writing a tutoria

http://blog.acidrayne.net/?p=25 I wrote this blog post in the hopes that I can motivate people to contribute to tryclojure. http://try-clojure.org is a relatively important website that is unfortunately subpar. I hope that with the community's help, we can turn it into something spectacular. --
