Don't know if you mean me, but in any case I also have it in my mid-term TODO to start working on guile-emacs. Life-Status report: Expect a few more months of "downtime" on my side. (Recreational purposes, though I'm available for emergency situations like if 'guix pull' stops working. :P) After that, I'll have a time-frame of maximally one year during which I'll be free from occupational work, in which time I have to juggle my time between looking into how to best go on with my occupational life (the software industry is awful and I wish to be politically active in some way but programming is my only skill), and working on various software projects including Guix contributions, Guile contributions, RnRS/SRFI contributions, and Guile-Emacs. The Guix and Guile contributions I have on my TODO aren't very big so hopefully Guile-Emacs can get a good amount of time allocated to it. OTOH, it will need a ton of tedious learning on my side if I have to work on nontrivial C code, and especially the BDW-GC. All in all don't set your expectations too high please. If more experienced hackers can work on Guile-Emacs, that would be ideal. > - Chris Taylan
