hi there,

i am looking for something to do, preferably something that makes me
rich, but that is not a must have - if it's interesting, i'll code for free.

i can offer almost 15 years of coding experience (important: while being
open minded the whole time). i am a one man army, if you will :)
(procedural, OO (that one for money), FP, even some assembler). one
thing i have not yet done is write something big without static type
checking, so that'll be new.

clojure has caught my interest. in general, high level programming has.
i played around with clojure a bit and would like to get something done
that has at least some purpose. are there any small/new projects looking
for help?

If you can help with any of Midje's issues that would be greatly appreciated.  It is a pretty large code-base, but likely won't make you any money.

Please feel free to add your 2 cents to the conversation in the issues section as well.

Pull requests are always appreciated.

Not a currently existing project, but one that could fill some very real
needs:
A platform for collaborative, multi-lingual documentation/book-writing.

For example the Ubuntu Manual Project suffers from the barriers for
potential contributors, that are the result from exposing Latex, bzr
version management and being unable to start translation before the
English version for a specific release of Ubuntu has been finished.

The solution I imagine would allow
- collaborative real-time editing comparable to Etherpad, but fulfilling
the logical markup and structuring needs of book projects.
- comparison/editing of 2 language version side by side.
- to define ranges of text independent of paragraph boundaries to map
blocks of meaning between translations.
- Tracking of changes in a way that makes it feasible to update one
translation from another translation in any order they come.

I assume this would be a quite challenging and expandable project that
could benefit from using Clojurescript.

How about a native I/O library that'll detect the platform and architecture at runtime? Something like java 1.7's nio, but they'll work on clojure hosted on 1.5.x? Make use of JNA to make native calls to get file system details, etc.

Right now you cannot even stat a file from clojure without calling the stat command from a shell. :/

Hi there,

I was just looking for someone like you.
I have started to develop a mathematica clone in clojure (OK, I started. For now it calculates the derivatives and does a bit of expression simplification). For now I have couple of function that I test on the REPL. I was trying to write a command line interface so I would have something to show to people. My next step would be to make a clojure syntax translator (from "derivative(x^2,x)" to (derivative '(^ x 2) 'x)  ).
If you find it interesting we can work together (I consider myself as a clojure noob - you can see that from the question I posted on this mailing list earlier today-  I am starting to get OK with the syntax, I am something like 400-500th on 4clojure, but I have no experience in deploying anything in clojure).
If I can get stuff done I am planning to make a web app from it at some point, but I am starting to realize I am not good enough to do the whole thing by myself, hence that email.

Looking forward to have a reply from you,
Sam

looks like there will be some macro related work which is one of the
things i wanted to look into. i wrote a simple expression (+,-,*,/) and
a creole parser in scala once and spent 2 years on a fps shooter (hello
vector math) so i am not completely lost here :)

did you upload your stuff to github yet?
