I feel the time has come for me to step down from the Guile maintainership. Andy and Ludo are doing an amazing job as the other maintainers, and I have no doubt that Guile's future is bright: technically fascinating, and showing new signs of become ubiquitous within the GNU project, as was its original intention. For me personally, the reality is that I've always been more a steady pair of hands for Guile than a creative powerhouse, and I'd now like to spend more of my time on many other things that are calling for it - and without a slight feeling of guilt that I should be keeping that time for Guile. I still plan to hang around, as one of Guile's many users and occasional contributors. In particular I hope to continue making contributions towards getting the manual ready for publication sometime this year. But generally I look forward to sitting back and enjoying the ride! If there are specific things that people believe to be on my list as a maintainer, and so were/are expecting me to get to at some point, please email me (either privately or publicly, as appropriate) so we can decide what to do about those. Best wishes to all, and here's looking forward to Guile 2.0! Neil
