Ooooh. Yes could use some work. Wanna check it out from CVS and hack it up? And for the rest of us as well: what cool ideas do we have that should go on that list? Here are some ideas. 1. CPAN for guile. (content-based addressing, with the projects coming from savannah. Perhaps relates to nix though?) 2. Native code compiler. I'll get to this, given time :) 3. A simple web server implementation, included in Guile itself. (We really need to pull in guile-lib.) 4. A dynamic FFI. (Meaning one should be able to interface to C from scheme without compiling an extension.) More, more! A -- http://wingolog.org/
