You can see some of the code here: http://gitorious.org/~diogofsr/guile-gir/didi-guile-gir The thing is: I don't know what to do. Maybe some history will clear things. I've started trying to port librepository to guile from the ground up, using just C. While doing so people at #introspection point me to the great port of zeenix (guile-gir), as yourself. I contacted zeenix and he was very kind to help me with it, even commenting on my commits. It was very cool of him. After some time, and talking to you, it was suggest that an Introspection implementation should use (gnome gobject) and the pages from Introspection itself says that it is a good idea to use a previous gobject binding, as python does it. So I started playing with it. Some more time, I thought that would be a good idea to go full power with the dynamic ffi, so there I went. Some more time and IRC talk, rotty introduced to me his great sbank and after some more talk at #guile it was pointed that sbank is the direction that guile should go for an Introspection binding. So, as you can see, I don't have a clear vision on what has and needs to be done or how. I would happily give it a shot, but I need some kind of guidance. -- Diogo F. S. Ramos
