Hi, on the website, contribution section ( <https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/contribute/> ) we say how to report bugs, but we do not say how to contribute improvements.
The attached patch adds the such instructions.

Is this OK? Is there something I should change? Do we want patches sent to bug-guile instead of guile-devel? Best wishes, Arne -- Unpolitisch sein heißt politisch sein, ohne es zu merken. draketo.de
