For now I would be in favor of setting up a separate project on Savannah, rather than having a branch in the Guile repo. That should be technically doable as we=E2=80=99ll make sure to keep the compiler API compatible during the 2.x release series. To be honest, I personally don=E2=80=99t value the PHP language much and wo= uld rather have GNU promote Scheme than PHP, though I can understand that some people would find it useful to have interoperability between Guile Scheme and PHP code. Additionally, each language front-end adds a maintenance burden and consumes hacker energy (the ECMAScript front-end needs love, BTW! ;-)). Anyhow, depending on how things evolve in the future, we can still decide to merge it (which would itself be facilitated if all contributors have assigned copyright to the FSF.) What do you think? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
