Just an FYI, it still isn't up. :-P I know nalaginrut already offered, but if you can tell me where to find the available.scm format I can look into hosting this temporarily myself. >> I think this may let us test guildhall till it really works for Guile >> at least.

Agreed, wingo already mentioned having guildhall.gnu.org which would be good.

This is similiar (in principle) to how Debian's incoming > queue works. I'm currently looking into whether or not it is feasible to reuse the code from the elisp marmalade repo code for hosting and providing a web interface to dorodango packages. I already have a working installation, but I haven't played with it much yet. To other guilers, guildhall/dorodango has languished this year compared to the other goals of guile-emacs and nicer compilation. I would like this to change. I don't know if I will be able to change its fortunes, but I would appreciate help in testing it. In particular, if you have pure scheme libraries that you would like included, I would be much obliged if you would email me links to them.
