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
