Hi!
I am going trough the list of the ideas for the Google Summer of Code
2011.
I am wondering if this list is still valid:
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2012.html#guile
Otherwise, do you have something to suggest?
Thanks!
Giuseppe

I do not know if that idea is still valid. However, here are two more
to add to that list:
- Integration with Emacs. Guile has a very-nearly-complete
implementation of Elisp. We'd like to get it to the point that it can
actually run Emacs, and see if we can implement GNU's editor better
than the standard Elisp interpreter. This project will require
converting Emacs' C code to use Guile's object system, and possibly
working on an Emacs Lisp compiler implemented in Scheme.
- Compilation and speed. Guile has a pretty good compiler right now,
but we always want more speed. The student could take this in
different directions depending on interest. One idea that could take
about a summer is to compile Guile to a register virtual machine
instead of the current stack VM.
I would love to help with either of these, although I am not sure I
know enough to be the only mentor for them.
