This is strange. What project exactly are you talking about?
Since you are posting in guile-devel I assume you're talking
about Guile: well, Guile is alive and kicking (more that since
a long time, actually :)

June has seen the 2.1.3 release, and 2.2 is bringing exciting
things.

I think it's best to take this to guile-user. I set the Cc: accordingly.
But I think you will have to provide more details for someone to
be able to help you. Which version? Which platform? How did you
build it?

Elisp? Now I'm a bit confused. Are you referring to guile-emacs perhaps?
Then have a look at this mail thread in guile-devel:

  <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2016-03/msg00042.html>

from March this year. I guess those nice folks will be happy to have
some help!

Re: Project status

I believe the OP was talking about Guile Emacs. :-)

I don't know if Robin Templeton (the main author of that project who got
it so far) has time to continue working on it in the near future, but I
was intending to dig into it next.  Hopefully in the coming weeks.

I'm a noob in C, Emacs's code-base, and Guile's code-base though, so
expect sloooow progress.

You need to use Robin Templeton's fork of the Guile master branch and
use that while building, again, Robin Templeton's fork of the Emacs
master branch.

Here are instructions:

    https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs#toc3

The same page also contains many other useful information, and a link to
a TODO page.

Hope that helps!
