guile-lib is intended as an accumulation place for
pure-scheme Guile modules, allowing for people to cooperate
integrating their generic Guile modules into a coherent library.
Think "a down-scaled,
limited-scope CPAN
for Guile".
Also, it can be seen as a code staging area for Guile; the Guile developers could decide to integrate some of the code into guile-core. An example for a possible candidate is SRFI-35.
We've moved to Savannah, hosted by the Free Software Foundation. Also our source code is now managed in git. We hope these changes will make it easier for Guile hackers to contribute. A new release should be coming soon.
