API Overview - clojure-contrib next (in development)
The user contributions library, clojure.contrib, is a collection
of namespaces each of which implements features that we believe may be useful to
a large part of the clojure community.
This library was created by Rich Hickey but has been populated and is maintained by a group of volunteers who are excited about the success of the Clojure language and want to do our part to help it along. The current list of contributors is available on the clojure-contrib GitHub source page.
More contributions (and contributors) are welcome. If you wish to contribute, you will need to sign a contributor agreement (which allows Clojure and clojure.contrib to proceed without entanglements, see contributing for more info).
The best way to start is to share a project you've written with the google group and gauge the interest in adding it to contrib. (Publishing it in an open source form on google code, github or some other easy-to-access place in the net will also help.) After general discussion, Rich Hickey makes the final determination about what gets added to clojure.contrib.
Some parts of clojure.contrib may migrate into clojure.core if they prove to be so generally useful that they justify being everywhere. (For example, condp started out as an extension in contrib, but was moved to core by popular acclamation.)
The exact role of clojure.contrib and the future of the Clojure environment (standard libraries, dependency models, packaging systems, etc.) is the subject of pretty much continuous discussion in the clojure google group and in #clojure on freenode. Feel free to join that discussion and help shape the ways Clojure is extended.
Like Clojure itself, clojure.contrib is made available under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). clojure.contrib is copyright 2008-2009 Rich Hickey and the various contributors.
