Hello. Thanks for opening a PR on Exercism. We are currently in a phase of our journey where we have paused community contributions to allow us to take a breather and redesign our community model. You can learn more in this blog post. As such, all issues and PRs in this repository are being automatically closed.

That doesn't mean we're not interested in your ideas, or that if you're stuck on something we don't want to help. The best place to discuss things is with our community on the Exercism Community Forum. You can use this link to copy this into a new topic there.


Note: If this PR has been pre-approved, please link back to this PR on the forum thread and a maintainer or staff member will reopen it.

Sorry about the wait, I'm the new Racket maintainer, and I'll take a look at these old PRs. :)

I can deal with the merge conflict itself.

Some notes

  • removed Minimal Racket - it is not intended for beginners.
  • changed download instructions to the official installers at https://download.racket-lang.org/ - brew and apt are not recommended for beginners and they often trail the official releases, leaving beginners in a situation where their install doesn’t match the docs at https://docs.racket-lang.org/

thank you for taking responsibility for racket - I’m sure you will agree a resource that is maintained can be a great benefit - but an unmaintained resources can harm

For what it's worth, I just made a PR to unpause community contributions for this repo so that should hopefully be less of a problem for contributors, especially first-time ones, in the future.

i’ll be honest and unmaintained resource with poor advice, is worse than no resource at all.

If you are serious about running a Racket track, I believe you should reach out to the record community directly at the Racket Discourse and Discord ( these are the most active places for ‘Racketeers’) and explain why you believe volunteers should contribute to your site. Addressing why contributions were blocked for so long - and why the community should trust you not to do that again - would be a good start.
