Well, I'm a relatively recent newcomer, so I don't really know. All I can see are the artifacts of chaos in the source code and recent efforts at getting things on a more reasonable line of development. It of course makes sense that things were getting better long before I got here. And of course it takes a village to raise a Guile, as they say. So there are a ton of people that I didn't mention, because I didn't know about them. Anyway it happens, I want to see Guile grow and thrive, because I like using it and I like the idea of it. I think clarity of purpose and open, documented processes make things go better, but that's just me and my experience. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou evan@glug.org _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
