+1 One idea: what about doing some remote pairing and "virtual hackathon" sessions which let people work together? I went to a hackathon this weekend and it seems like a great way to learn.

You tag some issues in your bug tracker as "newcomer" or "easy". This provides a gentle path into contributing. There is some work involved with this. You have to do the tagging, and there needs to be some capacity in your project for some mentoring. Leiningen is doing this <http://leiningen.org/> already with "newbie" tagged issues, which is awesome. Are there any other Clojure projects that are doing this? Would you like to do this with your project? If so, I can try to help. I have been spending a lot of time thinking about the Clojure newcomer perspective lately, and I'd like to work on some things that help smooth that path.
