At least, it's true that guile-core does not currently depend on workbook, as it did once. I'm sure there is stuff in workbook and guile-scripts that is still useful, but I prefer to import it lazily (and as and when it becomes a priority). That will also allow us to consider where each imported item should go within the Git repository. > Unrelated, i would request that guile-www be imported as well. > This way, presuming there is interest, we can eventually merge in > work on Guile-WWW that has been happening ttn-locally[0] for many > years now. Wouldn't it make sense for guile-www to be a separate Savannah project? In case this sounds like I'm singling out guile-www, I've actually always had a problem understanding the structure and existence of the Guile CVS modules other than guile-core - and I think the fact that many of them are obsolete and/or bitrotted is a clue that this is a problem in practice.
