As the author, for you it is simple and transparent. For the newcomer, it is opaque, and its simplicity is to be determined. As Guile-SDL maintainer, i wonder what i can do to attract the same audience, whether or not it is worth expending the energy to do so, in what ways have i failed to encourage organic additive (as opposed to parallel) hacking, and how wonderful/terrible it is for GNU to be so loosely coupled. Anyway, should you wish to rebase SLAYER onto Guile-SDL (which has surmounted the documentation, autotools, and certain libguile churn issues), i, too, am happy to help out. (Maybe we can work together.) =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlGGqXQACgkQZwMiJEyAdQKPUACcCOsmWN2kA/klq9Q3bHL2qp1I RbYAnjVzGvp6phNYkTkzeetAZuZGnPIB =wJhN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
