Sure, I'm available.  It would also be nice to get an interview with
Ludovic, if he wants, because I talk too much :P

I don't know of anything.  Want to make a "2.0 release" page?  It could
start with a summary, then list a number of important bullet points, and
much of the text could be culled from the news.  The audience would be a
programmer that could be interested in Guile, but not necessarily one
that knows Guile already.

Mike also had an article written that he was going to try to get to
LWN.net.  Guile 2.0 would make a great story for them.

Just some suggestions from the top of my head.  It seems that all I do
these days is make stuff up and send it to the list ;-)

I don't think I'm available, no.  Too much travel :/  However, you are
knowledgeable and local -- why not? :)

Cheers,

Andy
