Having one central authoritative Getting Started page might be a good
thing. For Mac OS X, WikiBooks recommends installing MacPorts and
getting Clojure that way - which is not a very friendly approach :)

However, the official page isn't very welcoming for newbies right now
since it assumes you either start with an IDE or a build tool.
Pointing out try-clojure.org would probably be a good thing there
(although that site is currently down) and covering some very simple
download'n'go approaches might also help. Happy to help - I just moved
the TextMate Getting Started page under the main Getting Started page
like all the others and I can go in and review / clean up any of the
pages that deal with stuff with which I am familiar...
