It would be nice to provide a somewhat short page that describes, if possible visually, where Guile sits in the GNU OS, and a basic introduction on how to get started with extending one's program with Guile. Most of the contents of this introductory page would certainly come from existing documentation. The idea would be to make Guile a more visible element of the GNU, to raise developer awareness about it. I'd be happy to work with some of you Guile maintainers to define such a page. I'm not sure *where* such a page would best appear. It could sit in the existing Guile's web repository, and be linked from the gnu.org homepage. It could also become part of some new "Free Software Developer Guide" that describes the steps to create a program from scratch, or integrate an existing program in the GNU. I'm not aware of any such documentation that clarifies the specificities of the GNU project regarding program structure; I know there is documentation scattered around many manuals, but not a single, quite short introduction that would give developers an overview of the specificities of GNU packages, and the consistency of the system. =3D=3D hk --------------enig6ACD8E88AB5F262D156C6800 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJRBXk8AAoJEDhjYTkcokoTCMoQAIhUHpbtqQNDye6QyRh0n929 ayIpIbzGXOvGnf2E4y6/g6BnwHqv+AsFfzItGkw+apcSLuHBGuIwXBdRVhqii1Xy a+YqVapPhn6+dWIu8GjE7VwUUOMIg6XXpVdC1NgKXfj9t7GvCp2AmixTDSHhwRNO 0y6iB5Cdu/zlx0Ue+MUxRCP5Twbcoyd/jTb+cDg01LDaLkppYAGSU340FTyUld42 BjZxvutL3i5Oc38Bp+FkSGwfkEKdSvpU4WZUt5516xAU7Tl9ekppfzwwdHI+POO4 uZgv3kvD6OlO15L+XCZ9P3J38cQxFnfsgu/CNjR8TVcYiS+Td27R32UJhmYUcMbM yQz1/LfiEgepsTHLd6D2eQzeGXel3svi6FKIapb0k+YwQpl8Qr4wcORxGrhuSzE3 Q5mziu1P50B3w+UPbfoT4dfIue/26mwgiz6VnOadLsfQIiWBwvB/iGgXQly6TWOt T+0M6p8xjW3SIz7Fw+UCBY7mtr/NQ6I2I4gI8oOoy/Tcanl+GhT1vG9ZwmG9RWIz +Z4J8kBcfRpBcw6ljoETUqgFCXsUMfZvroTnR3C0NVRGooQ4EL1kT+fiFsgJjjfa BMdSdaj+qTQGqxbhDpqh8UmmuAeBCn8ZG720n498xVinqz4+0/zQtYzgXh8SXSmg tcrSwRPa0kjvL3QBOefs =Gb1R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig6ACD8E88AB5F262D156C6800--
