It would be nice to provide a somewhat short page that describes, if possible visually, where Guile sits in the GNU OS, and a basic introduction on how to get started with extending one's program with Guile. Most of the contents of this introductory page would certainly come from existing documentation. The idea would be to make Guile a more visible element of the GNU, to raise developer awareness about it. I'd be happy to work with some of you Guile maintainers to define such a page. I'm not sure *where* such a page would best appear. It could sit in the existing Guile's web repository, and be linked from the gnu.org homepage. It could also become part of some new "Free Software Developer Guide" that describes the steps to create a program from scratch, or integrate an existing program in the GNU. I'm not aware of any such documentation that clarifies the specificities of the GNU project regarding program structure; I know there is documentation scattered around many manuals, but not a single, quite short introduction that would give developers an overview of the specificities of GNU packages, and the consistency of the system. == hk
