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
