However, this page is terribly outdated. I'm not convinced that the Free Software Directory is the right approach to advertise Guile programs/libraries, so I think we should do something about the Guile project page. So, here's a proposal: * We rename the page to `old-gnu-guile-projects.html' and start a new one; the new page would contain a link to the old one, hidden at the bottom or something like that. * To get listed on the new page, people must send an HTML entry with accurate information. It shouldn't be too much of a burden to install new entries if we just have to copy/paste them. I would also suggest to do away with the `author', `maintainer' and `status' fields since they are not very useful and are bound to become outdated (well, except for `author'). * We'd limit `gnu-guile-projects.html' to software that runs with 1.8 (or 1.6 too?) and move other projects to `old-gnu-guile-projects.html' until they upgrade. :-) Likewise, we'd preferably refrain from adding entries for software that's "mostly unwritten". The idea is that the page should reflect what users can do today with the latest Guile while being able to get support. I think this can be beneficial both to Guile and Guile-based projects. What do you think? Thanks, Ludovic, Publicity Chair. ;-) _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
