It's too bad, then, that the project's wiki is not prominently and *obviously* one of the google results. > FWIW, the latest release of ccw is also available through the in-IDE > Eclipse Marketplace. "Marketplace"? That doesn't sound good. Are they actually charging money for it? I very much doubt that would be viable. For La Clojure it could be; users of that have already proven willing and able to part with money over the 'net for their development tools. Eclipse users on the other hand have already made one choice of free over paid in that area. > There's also the "Getting Started" pages in assembla, which is listed > highly for nearly any "clojure <dev tool name>" search you might run: > http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started I noticed Assembla results in all my google searches, but pretty much ignored them; my readings here and elsewhere have "taught" me that Assembla is an issue tracker and maybe another code repository site, and therefore unlikely to be of interest except to developers of the things you find there and those who wish to report bugs. And for bug reporting, you apparently have to register and get some kind of a login there. "Members-only site mainly for the developers of Clojure/CCW/Enclojure/whatever" is thus how it "smells" to someone searching for information on any of those, so few users are likely to surf there. Also, "third-party/repository" vs. "the home page I'm looking for". > The Enclojure site is definitely very nice. Laurent may have plans to > build something similar for ccw -- I don't know. I'd recommend that course of action. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
