> The getting started page remains as bad as I remember it with links to discontinued Github projects. I assume you mean https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started. That page has just a handful of links and none of them lead to unmaintained/discontinued projects. If you mean something else, please be more concrete. "The page has bad stuff" is not actionable, and it's hard to distinguish unmaintained/discontinued/"dead" from complete, even when there are still open issues and users complaining. Same comment about https://www.clojure-toolbox.com. Keeping track of everything is a _lot_ of work that's IMO unreasonable to expect the author of the toolbox to be doing all the time. As the web page mentions in its footer, "Library suggestions can be submitted [at] the project page" - https://github.com/weavejester/clojure-toolbox.com. And people

are doing that, and their suggestions are being taken into account. > For example the getting started for Pedestal, one of the main web libraries has its Getting Started page last updated seven years ago? http://pedestal.io/guides/hello-world And?.. Pedestal is stable, its main feature set hasn't changed in years and probably won't change - why would the guide need to be updated? As an analogy - my face hasn't changed all that much in a past few years, and I haven't changed my profile picture in those few years. Does it really mean that I'm unmaintained/dead? > Where can I find latest documentation [...]? The answer is still https://clojure.org/. And https://clojuredocs.org/ but it's community-maintained so might occasionally be missing some things right after they're released. E.g. as of this moment Clojure 1.11 is still not there since the maintainer of the website has some technical issues deploying the updated version of the website. For me personally, the best API-level documentation is the source code. > Where can I find [...] tools / libraries in a easy to use page or section? There's no central repository of all the available things since they can be loaded from many places (Clojars, Maven Central, other Maven repositories, S3, Git, local files). But there are community-maintained lists, like the one you've mentioned at https://www.clojure-toolbox.com (fully manual, AFAIK) or the one at https://phronmophobic.github.io/dewey/search.html (automated but only for GitHub). Perhaps there are others but I'm not familiar with them - most of the time, I myself don't find that much value in such services as I'm usually able to find things with a regular web search engine or ask the community when I need something in particular.
