I'd be happy to see a section on "Just Enough Java", for folks who don't
have a Java background.  You mqay also want to take a look at my (WIP!)
wiki pages on Key Concepts in Clojure:

I would also add 

   - setting up Eclipse with counterclockwise 
   - native java libs setup  (lwjgl) for OpenGL folks. Since I don't have 
   java background this took me a while to figure out and Lein (which is a 
   great tool btw) doesn't provide an intuitive support for this sort of stuff 
   out of the box unfortunately.

I just want to point out that if you want, you can reuse
http://clojure-doc.org content, as the license [1]
permits just about any use.

Clojure books space is already pretty crowded [2] but more content for
beginners is exactly what Clojure needs.
Good luck with your project!

Philosophy mixed with action is the ticket. Godel, Escher, Bach is what I'm 
talking about. 

I'd be happy to receive updates. 

Cheers,
