By all means, if you feel you can make sense of the code, then give it a try. The one consideration about guile-ncurses is whether you'd want to do it under the auspices of the FSF, since it is an official GNU package. If you did, it could provide you some GNU infrastructure and some support, but, also some logistical and philosphical headaches. Anyway, let figure out some way to move forward.
