Hi
So i'd like to point to the problem here. Clojure web framework in google 
get these results, at least for me
1. noir
2. stackoverflow question 2008 year
3. stackoverflow question 2010 year
4. joodo ( outdated thing developed by one person)
5. Compojure ( routing dsl)
So there is no popular framework these days for clojure.
Noir is mostly Chris Granger thing. As he make Lighttable today Noir 
developed by some other people ( or may be on person not sure). Main site 
instructions are nice but already outdated ( lein2). No news, no blog, no 
new features, no examples, no infrastructure. Lein new project, insert noir 
in dependencies and you don't have working app, you must add :main and 
stuff to work. What about testing ? no info, no structure, decide on your 
own. 
It's no secret that web development today is biggest and popular trend. If 
language and it's community have good web framework that language will gain 
more popularity. 
Take Ruby on rails it has over 30 core contributers, huuuge community, 
active development, industry standart web development framework. Good 
testing, development infrastracture, easy start, sprockets for js css 
managment and so on. Also it has some books about testing and framework 
itself which is good start point for newbies. 
I like Clojure, for simplicity mostly. It has amazing power and i believe 
it can be very good platform for web development. 
So what i suggest :
Take 1 platform for web development in Clojure (for example noir as most 
mature framework) .
Form working core group from 5-6 people.
Decide about name of the project ( or take Noir)
Make good site about it
Make a plan for development ( what core features should have first version)
Make first version
Make couple good examples
Make good documentation and maybe a book ( community book for example on 
github that will be online and updated frequently).
--------------
http://www.playframework.org/ good example what site could be
Alternative to online book can be guides, as for ruby on rails 
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/index.html
Another good news that there is nice web IDE for Clojure by Bodil Stokke 
https://github.com/bodil/catnip. Super easy install, very nice insterface, 
reactive interface ( no need for browser refresh, autorecompile when you 
save ) web based ! and under active development, just perfect place for 
newbies to start. So this project also can be added to Clojure Web 
framework project.
Also we have ClojureScript so Clojure web framework would be perfect place 
where this thing can shine.
Let's discuss.
