Regarding documentation, using Guile’s built-in web server seems like the least intrusive mechanism, from an application developer’s viewpoint, and it should work well in practice (using Guile’s web server, SXML, and Texinfo modules.) I was thinking that perhaps Emacsy could also offer a GTK+ mode, where it would display documentation in a GTK+ window instead (perhaps using Guile-GNOME). A few years ago Andy had written a Texinfo browser for Guile-GNOME, which could give some ideas [0]. WDYT? Job control would seem like a very nice feature. I’m not sure what the API could you like (esp. assuming it uses cooperative threads), but it’s a good idea to dig further in that direction. Thanks, Ludo’.
