For now we can use a github repo: https://github.com/marcuscreo/clojure-learning-resources
Send me a pull request, or let me know if you want access to edit directly. I also put Leif's excellent list in the wiki portion of the repo as well. https://github.com/marcuscreo/clojure-learning-resources/wiki/Clojure-Projects-with-novice-tags On Apr 14, 2014, at 4:39 PM, Bridget <bridget.hill...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wow, Leif.
