Maybe the "Getting Started" section of the wiki shouldn't point
beginners towards slime. Once someone is accustomed to using Clojure
with Emacs, they will appreciate the power of slime; however, to get
started, clojure-mode is more than sufficient. You should also
probably eliminate clojure-contrib and the separate clojure binary
from the "Getting Started" steps. The minimal steps to get started
with clojure and emacs then become:

1. Download latest Clojure from svn: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=137961
2. Download latest clojure-mode from git: http://github.com/jochu/
3. Use ant to build clojure
4.  Put the following minimal setup in your .emacs file (adjusting the
paths as necessary):

(setq inferior-lisp-program "java -server -cp
/Users/bc/lisp/clojure/clojure/trunk/clojure.jar clojure.lang.Repl")
(pushnew "/Users/bc/lisp/clojure/clojure-mode" load-path        
(require 'clojure-auto)

5. Restart Emacs. Load a clojure (clj) file in a buffer, press C-c C-z
to get a repl.

That is far simpler to get setup and the user can focus on clojure
rather than slime as they're getting started with the language.
