OK, then: - How did you agree 1.4.2 with other developers, especially mvo? - How did you inform them of your plans for the 1.4.x line? - How did you inform them of the problems you find with 1.6? - What alternatives have been offered to the 1.6 problem changes (by anyone)? If none, have you tried to encourage development of alternatives and what has resulted from that? [Of course, archive refs for any of the above would rock.] If you care about Guile (and you seem to), helping to cause fixes for any problems with 1.6 is particularly important. > what are your plans to improve guile? what are your plans to improve > yourself using guile? Write more things using it. I need to look at guile-www more, particularly, to see what things from my libraries can be added sensibly to it. In general, I think my contribution can be to scheme in general rather than to one implementation. Guile is important to me now mainly because guile and guile-gtk has a large-ish installation base. > what feedback can you give me on the 1.4.x portion of the ROADMAP? Grouping a few: Abstracting -- should that really be done in a stable series? Integrate docs, determine/document policy -- fine Compatibility header -- huh? Back-ports -- perhaps, but only if 1.6 is too far away Add/incorporate/support -- not during a stable series, do these for 1.6 Fix bugs -- of course My opinion only, but you did ask.
