BTW, @lepistane Your Reddit post links to dev-ua/clojure for Gitter but https://gitter.im/clojure/general this is probably more applicable for the community as a whole?
There are also rooms for clojure/java.jdbc and clojure/tools.cli (mostly because I maintain those and created those rooms), plus clojure-emacs/cider is pretty active on Gitter.
As is onyx-platform/onyx BTW.
i think it's safe to assume that
voting didnt go so well XD
850+ views 237 votes
so only 8.5% of people saw that and only 2.5% actually voted
not to mention topic on reddit is heavily downvoted
right i will change it
anyway i will do what i preach try to help community on multiple platforms and encourage people to use SO and use it
and if something goes wrong with slack - other places will be active enough so they can choose where to go
anyway thank you for help and feedback
👍
I'd point to the long trail of documentation efforts in the Clojure community as an example of that last part. So many great ideas have produced docs sites that quickly go out of date or go offline because, for whatever reasons, the community just doesn't rally round and support them.
http://ClojureSphere.com and http://ClojureAtlas.com are the first two that came to mind (both gone -- although an old version of the latter lives on as a subdomain of Chas's site).
http://Clojure-Doc.org survives but gets very little community contribution. I moved the Java.jdbc docs there because folks complained the CA was blocking contributions while the docs were in the Contrib repo -- guess what? I'm still pretty much the only person who works on those docs (although I've had some great contributions from a new community member just recently).
