CLJ Commons

CLJ Commons is a community-led project to build up the supporting infrastructure around Clojure to make it a better experience for people new to Clojure, as well as existing Clojurists.

Current Goals

• Adopt important Clojure libraries when the original maintainers no longer have the time or interest to keep them updated.

Long Term Goals

• Improve the experience for beginning Clojure users by providing a clear, coherent, path towards adopting Clojure
• Improve the experience of using Clojure for existing users by shaving off its rough edges (error messages, stack traces, cryptic docstrings) and providing a unified documentation repository.
• Provide a common set of tools and solutions for Clojure users to adopt to reduce duplication of work. “Lifting the Lisp curse”

Contributing

We have set up a meta-repository where you can file issues for projects you want CLJ commons to adopt, or if you're interested in joining as a maintainer for a project that is dear to your heart.

Our meta-repository README discusses project entry and maintenance criteria, and the repo also contains our general principles of project governance.

Projects

You'll find a list of projects we maintain (and their current maintainers) over here

Who's Involved?

The CLJ Commons leadership team is made up of Erik Assum, Sean Corfield, and Daniel Compton. Adopted projects are maintained by many members of the Clojure community, and you could be one of them!
