I helped a beginner who hadn’t yet found this Slack and was frustrated about the lack of info on Stack Overflow. She was super happy hearing about #beginners here. I also told her about http://ask.clojure.org. However, I think it would be great with a Beginner/Get started category there, and some prominent link to it on the page. I am willing to help make it happen, if it is agreed to be a good idea.

On Ask?

Alex Miller (Clojure team) 2024-11-22T13:28:41.372959Z

I’ve added a Beginner category on Ask

I can mention it on the Welcome page only new users get too

For my closure, did you add it now, or did I miss it earlier today?

I just added it

https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/about is where the welcome points new users

Looks great! However, I didn’t consider that there is only one category per question…

Tags are orthogonal and open so can certainly also tag

Alex Miller (Clojure team) 2024-11-22T13:46:18.020959Z

I don’t mind having a top level beginner category though

pez 2024-11-22T14:10:10.730069Z

Can I (and others) help with tagging and categorizing the existing questions?

pez 2024-11-22T14:10:56.778409Z

I am some level of admin. At least I have Admin in the top navigation.

I have you set up as an editor for the Calva category but I can add some more capability for you
