I have been thinking for while that it would be great to have something equivalent to book clubs for reading code. A group could meet weekly, all having read the same moderate-sized project, and discuss. I wonder if this could be made to work as a web-app, where you can sign up, state your areas of interest, and have a weekly reading assignment emailed. Then you could meet on IRC or something. Just a thought. Having said that, I don't have any specific suggestions for you, but I'm also interested in seeing what answers you get. - Chris Perkins -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
