Hi Rich,

I was going to continue the funding effort, but have decided
against it for
the reasons given here:
Regarding the "entitlement [...] as to what I do with my time", I
believe I know of one of the discussions that lead you to this
conclusion. It seems this discussion originated from a community
member's desire for a Clojure roadmap of some sorts, but quickly died
from emotional buttons having been pushed.
As for me, I too would appreciate a central place to read about the
"next big things" you are working on (apparently dev.clojure.org is in
the process of becoming this place), but am excited about the
direction Clojure is taking right now and would gladly donate if you
decided to accept funding again in the future.
The Confluence instance at:
http://dev.clojure.org/
is definitely that place and is positively overflowing with design
docs and plans. And:
http://dev.clojure.org/jira/
lets you follow issues and changes being made.
Clojure has never had a roadmap and won't have one any time soon.
Things get done when they can get done, given need and people with the
inclination, willingness, time and ability to do them (myself
included). That has always been the case.
It has never been the case that at the beginning of a particular year
I could have predicted what would have been the big features developed
that year. Some things get hot and get done, while others need more
thinking time. I'm comfortable with that and happy with the results.
People need to be cautious not to become too infatuated with planning
and the ability to see the future than is supportable by an open
source project of this size.
