A Guile wiki would be pretty nice, but my experience is that running a wiki is a maintenance drag, and nobody really wants to keep it going for a project of Guile's size (I wish this weren't the case). Of course, if someone wants to run one, great! But IMO it would be better to "team up" with something/someone that's already running a wiki. I would suggest using a namespace under the LibrePlanet wiki? That one is already maintained by the FSF sysadmins and/or GNU sysadmin volunteers (I don't quite know the setup).
