It's an Emacs environment for Scheme similar to Slime: a repl and a bunch of utilities to edit, navigate and obtain information about the code. Among them, jumping to an identifier's definition: for that, i need guile to tell me where in the file system the identifier is bound. Geiser does not usually collect metadata on the elisp side, relying on the running guile to provide it. The richer that dynamic metadata is, the more functionality Geiser can provide. A bit more information is available at http://gitorious.org/geiser and links thereof (specially the README; no real documentation yet, i'm afraid). jao -- Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve.
