Hello, This is a great idea! I especially like the way you ask for information on what Guile features need to be improved. We could learn a lot from this project.
I'm also curious - would you consider it bad for people who are already contributing to Guile to volunteer? I have some free time coming up and the project sounds fun to try, but you won't be adding another contributor to Guile if I am chosen. :-) Thanks, Noah Lavine On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 6:04 PM, Mike Gran <spk...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello.
