It is telling that nobody stepped out saying "I have a copy
of the
source, let's find a place to host it", mh?

I don't know about telling, but I am asking
why the Subject: header says "Re: <new subject>"?
I use emacs to read mail, save almost all,
but a search of Subject: headers shows
no occurrence of "shutdown". Where did this
come from?
What is gna.org? Sort of Gnu Non-Acronym?
What's in the tar file?
What have you done to Marco?

GEE, a collection of Guile bindings to various useful libraries that
Marco has abandoned *and* removed from the web (well, until this
message).

See https://gna.org/support/?1913 .
(Which is not a reason to be angry at Guile users IMO...)
Thanks,
Ludovic.

Thank you for explaining this. I have been subscribed
to the guile-user list for more than a decade, but have
not recently been keeping up with developments otherwise.
I was confused by this message, which appeared on
guile-user in response (it now seems) to discussions
in some other forum. As I tried to figure it out
I found more things I did not understand and began
to have fun with paranoia.

I had never even heard of GEE, and at first read this
as "GEE WHIZ don't you know that it's a...
In fact, in case anyone else is as confused as I am,
know that GEE is the name of the library, and gna.org
is a French GNU-like website and source code repository.

It seems that Marco now prefers a different version
of Scheme. I don't see how anyone could be angry with
Guile users (as a group and for this reason). At worst
they are dupes.
This whole snafu does raise some questions about
portability of Scheme programs between implementations,
which I will ask in a separate message if I can
figure out just what they are.
