Re: Logo baseline

Fun I can agree with! It is what made me stick with Guile in the first place.

GNU as an adjective seems odd: I think that can better be conveyed as a part of the name "GNU Guile". It is and, if I have understood the discussions going on here, will continue to be a GNU project. Maybe treat fun as a noun: GNU Guile - fast functional fun :D

I'd leave the fine details of taglines to someone who is better versed in english than me, though.
