Hi.

Is gitlab.com/gnutls a suitable place for this (do you have a gitlab.com username?), or should we try to move it to savannah or some other place? Do you know if someone other than you are likely to work on guile-gnutls soon? The guile/ contributors list is short: Author: Alon Bar-Lev <alon.bar...@gmail.com> Author: Daiki Ueno <u...@gnu.org> Author: Leonardo Bras <leobra...@gmail.com> Author: Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org> Author: Marcin Cieślak <sa...@saper.info> Author: Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos <n...@gnutls.org> Author: Simon Josefsson <j...@josefsson.org> Author: Simon South <si...@simonsouth.net> Author: Tim Rühsen <tim.rueh...@gmx.de> > The Guile-Gcrypt bindings have been maintained separately since their > inception and it’s worked rather well. Right, and my experience with supporting language bindings in libidn is that they are better done externally than internally in the upstream library project. The language-specific expertise required seldom exists in the upstream project, and whatever project-specific expertise is needed tend to be less important and can be solved through normal documentation requests within the core project. /Simon
