I wrote this blog post in the hopes that I can motivate people to
contribute to tryclojure. http://try-clojure.org is a relatively
important website that is unfortunately subpar. I hope that with the
community's help, we can turn it into something spectacular.

really like the site. i like the tutorial section. it would be nice if
the site would focus more on examples.

Right. One of the most important aspects of a site like this is it's
tutorial. The tutorial should be interactive, much like tryhaskell's
tutorial. That's one of the biggest things that needs to be done.
Beyond that, tutorial authors would be great as well. If somebody
feels like writing a tutorial section or improving the existing ones,
have at it. It's a great way to examine your own Clojure knowledge and
very helpfully contribute to the project at the same time.

Last time I introduced someone to Clojure via try-clojure.org, he came
back later and said that the console ignored him after a while, and he
wasn't sure what he did wrong. We tried it together, and after a
couple minutes it stopped evaluating expressions. Does this bug sound
familiar? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce it since.

I'm guessing this is related to the bugfixes in jquery-console that
you mentioned, so upgrading to the latest version of jquery-console is
the piece that I would want to take on.
For my own reference, these are the customizations you made to
jquery-console that I will need to watch out for:

That would be great. Any sort of problems with the console are very
likely to be related to jquery-console, so updating it might fix them.
I actually hadn't heard of that bug. Probably not a good sign, since
it might mean that people spend very little time with tryclojure. ;)

Inability to paste into the repl at tryclojure is also a problem.

Pete,
Would you feel comfortable working on the jquery-console upgrade?
That's entirely a Javascript issue, and I'd be happy to find another
piece to work on. I actually prefer working in Clojure, and only took
on the jquery-console upgrade task because it seemed important.
Let me know if you're going to do the jquery-console upgrade, in which
case I'll choose one of the other tasks.

I'm not sure, but I think I might have convinced Chris Done to allow
pasting into the REPL. In any case, all tutorial examples are
clickable (they are thrown into the REPL), which was my way of trying
to work around those issues. Anybody is welcome to patch tryclojure's
version of jquery-console (after the upgrade). However, if we start
making changes like this, it might be a good idea to fork the jquery-
console repository for our version.

I'd like to remind you guys that if you plan to work on something,
please create an issue for it on Github and let me know, so that I can
assign your name to it with a tag and we can avoid duplicating work.

Ok, sounds good (branch). What stack/host is it being hosted on now?I've got a couple crazy AppEngine ideas that have been floating around for the past week or so. Could be a good dogfooding example in itself.

Rayne I loved try clojure! Congrats! I really want to help but running
out of time for now. I'll take my hands on that as soon as possible.

tryhaskell is a clone of why_'s tryruby [1]. We can do the same...

I wouldn't be opposed to a try[ruby|haskell]ish design. The designs
are very pretty. If anybody wants to go that route, I'd love to see
the results. :>
