I updated the links on clojure.org to point to http://leiningen.org/.
I think the philosophy in general on clojure.org is to offer minimal advice and point instead largely to the Getting Started wiki page where the community can create and maintain the best advice. That said, I think there's certainly room for improvement on those pages and it's a great opportunity to set people on the best path.
