Hey. Sorry, to be a little clearer:
It looks like Dorodango could provide a great resource to pull from.
From my (very uninformed) cursory glance,I thought it would need some
reworking to get it to work from Guile. Looking at it a bit more, I
realize I probably don't know what I'm talking about. I'll try to look
through the mailing list some more to get a better sense of the issue.



Thanks for the other feedback. Looking into it.
