Hello. I'm pleased to announce the upcoming Guile 100 Programs
Project.
The Guile 100 Programs Project is an opportunity to show off your
Guile skills in exchange for a small honorarium.
Each week, on Monday, I'll announce a coding project and ask for
volunteers. On Wednesday, a volunteer will be chosen at random from
all entrants. The volunteer will have two weeks to complete the task.
If judged to have completed the task correctly, he or she will receive
a honorarium of 100 USD.
The task will either be a Scheme script, a bug fix on an existing
project, or a C code with Guile bindings.
The Guile 100 Programs project will begin March 11, 2013. The location
of the website is still TBD. The site is not live yet and will go live
just before the beginning of the project.
Along with the completed code, the entrant must submit two paragraphs
on what was learned and what in the Guile experience needs to be
improved. If the project results in new code, the submitter must
license it as GPL3+ or LGPL3+ as well as allowing it to appear in
a GFLD-licenced document including invariant sections.
The first two tasks to be announced will likely be
Mar 11, 2013 - Implement a version of the commands `cat' and
`echo' in Scheme.
Mar 18, 2013 - Implement a reduced functionality version of the
command `ls' in Scheme.
Full terms and conditions will be announced when the site goes live.
In the meantime, for more information or ideas you can contact me
on list or at spk121@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Mike Gran

Hello,
This is a great idea! I especially like the way you ask for information on
what Guile features need to be improved. We could learn a lot from this
project.
I'm also curious - would you consider it bad for people who are already
contributing to Guile to volunteer? I have some free time coming up and the
project sounds fun to try, but you won't be adding another contributor to
Guile if I am chosen. :-)
Thanks,
Noah Lavine

Hi Noah,
The point is to croudsource a HOWTO collection. If you think it'll
be fun, then by all means.
I'm more worried that no one will be interested and I'll end up writing
all the examples myself.
I've always had in the back of my mind that a collection of examples is
something I could do myself for Guile, but, that is never going to
happen. I keep thinking I'll someday have some real time to do some
code, but life is steamrolling me hardcore. So I figured I'd punt and see
what happens.
-Mike

Well~at least I'm one of the interested guys~

And sometimes volunteers don't know what they could contribute, this
project also shares the issues needed to be done. ;-)

Anyway, that's a nice idea!

Very good initiative, sounds fun!
If you want we can add it to gnu.org/s/guile/news.html and/or Guile’s
RSS feed (which ends up on planet.gnu.org).

Cool idea. The Guile community is kinda small, and so it'd be nice to
see some of our quieter members incentivised to hack more openly.

Heh, reimplementing coreutils in Scheme has been a plan of mine for a
while, as part of justifying my Iteratees library, but that has taken a
sideline to newer and shinier projects.

Maybe another new project, say, rewrite GNU with Guile, include part of
HURD, heh? I even get the name, GoG, GNU on Guile. ;-P

LOL. I'm not trying to reimplement all of Unix. I just want a newbie
to be able to compare some Scheme code to a concept that she or he
already understands, to facilitate learning.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves anyway. We still have the birthday
potluck to get through. And I still have to write a website for this
madness.

Has somebody tried to implement a gnu cloud os in guile?
Or any ideas about doing this?

Hi All,
The website is up, and the first challenge is described at
http://www.lonelycactus.com/guile100/
Both the website and the skeleton docs are pretty spare, but I had said that
I'd kick this off today. So, here it is. Hopefully the site will get better
and more useful in the next few weeks.
If you see a problem with the site, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike Gran
