So, sounds like the current situation with git instead of bzr, and hosted on savannah.=20 > Guile-Lib could indeed point its users to `guile-user@gnu.org'. Yes this should be the solution in any case -- fragmenting fora for Guile discussion is not in our interest. Maybe your solution is best -- it lets us keep guile-lib's unit tests and documentation system intact, doesn't bind us quite to the quality standards of guile, but still gives us the advantages of the git/savannah switch. > (Practically, you'd be the one in the best position to do this, but > then you'd be almost freed, Andy!)
