I asked Stu on the booze bus about the purpose of contrib apart from being a stage for libraries which might get included into core. He noted that having a set of libraries for which provenance is assured is a strong selling point for getting clojure into certain types of organizations, ones

As the start of this thread mentioned, we are moving to a new infrastructure around Confluence and JIRA, which should be (1) easier to use and in and of itself, and (2) allow a chance to improve documentation and streamline every aspect of contributing to Clojure. I am hoping we can roll onto

2010-10-19 Thread Rich Hickey
We are taking several steps to improve contrib and the facilities used to host Clojure development. The goal is to make it easier and more desirable to work on the Clojure project, and encourage more libraries to be developed within the project. There are several impediments to people working in

How should we as users consume the libs under the new umbrella? Is it fair to assume that most of these would be also uploaded by the creator into clojars as new versions become available, thus using build tools like mvn, gradle, lein, etc to pull them in as we need them? since I assume we are

True, but if ivy.xml's aren't published, you can't use any of ivy's features. It's just maven without the 20 jars. Luke On Oct 19, 12:26 pm, Wilson MacGyver wmacgy...@gmail.com wrote: I think what Rich meant is that, they will be available in a mvn repo. you can pull from mvn repo using ivy,
