If anyone is looking for nice ticket to work on, I would love to have a great high-quality patch for http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1449 "Add clojure.string functions for portability to ClojureScript" to consider for 1.8. No guarantees on Rich accepting it, but having a good impl would help make the case.

@alexmiller: I kind of started on this namespace on CLJS side. Would love to work on this issue

Yay for this room Alex.

Clojure 1.7.0-RC2 is now available https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure/0iCTNg9RNHw/STxq3DVq_U4J

WOOT

I am also seeking someone to add tests to http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1562 for all of the some->,some->>,cond->,cond->> and as-> macros (since we currently have none)

I'm hoping to have many tickets ready to review early in 1.8, so any help is appreciated on these

@alexmiller: Should tests be in a separate patch (or separate ticket)?

for? CLJ-1562?

in this case, probably a separate patch for that one

but you can put them on that ticket
