Hi there. I think some of you already know me from the Guix mailing 
lists. I come from a biosciences background, and am transitioning into a 
career in computer science. I plan on starting my masters this year. A 
large part of my interest has been in LISPs, and particularly Guile and 
other implementations of Scheme.

I know that Guile 3 is right around the corner, and i'd like to be able 
to lend a hand in getting it ready for that. I have experience in both 
Scheme and C. This would be my first contribution to a C project though. 
I am curious if there is some resource that explains where I may focus 
my efforts? I know the bug tracker is available for this, but where else 
may I focus my attention?

I imagine most of what we need for Guile 3 is in a feature-freeze more 
or less, so I just want to get my cards in order before I start throwing 
any patches out.

Best,
Brett Gilio
