Hi.

Please excuse the delay.

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in GNU Savannah.
You can reach the rest Savannah hackers (Staff) in this list:
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers-public.

I have noticed the README file lacks licensing information.  Given
README is nontrivial and above 10 lines, please add the license header
and copyright information, just as with any other file, in order to
ensure it can be used and copied with the same permissions as with the
other files; we consider files above 10 lines copyrightable, note,
however, there isn't a way to know for sure whether a court would
consider some file copyrightable or not, it's a thumb rule.

Because this is a minor issue (In the sense it's easy to fix) I have
approved this project now.  You will receive an auto-generated email
containing detailed information about the approval.

I realized that it isn't very convenient for you to extract the README file from the uploaded tarball.  So here is the same content here, which more fully explains my motivation for this project registration.


A collection of Guile Scheme modules by Neil Jerram
===================================================

During ten years or more of writing Scheme code, I've often found
myself writing the same bits of utility code several times.  Also I've
spent time wondering which "application" I should assign a piece of
code to, and what to do about pieces of code that don't fit anywhere
precise (how and whether to publish them, release them, and so on).
I'm not sure that time was well spent.

I now think this all stemmed from unhelpfully trying to organise my
work into individual "applications" - which was never really necessary
- and from not having a convenient way (before the DVCS era) of
sharing and managing versions of the same code between different
places.  These days we have DVCS, and I plan from now on to manage
most of my Scheme code as part of a single overall collection.

This approach also fits better with hackability and free software.
For hackability, modules with nice programming APIs are more important
than finished programs that provide a non-programming front end to
those APIs.  Using the modules directly (from the Guile REPL) is often
more convenient, when hacking, than using a GUI or a command line
program.  The module-centric approach also promotes the possibilities
of people - either oneself or others - combining existing modules in
new ways.

So that's what this project/package is: a place to collect and
organise all my various fragments of Guile Scheme code, and a
mechanism (specifically, Git) to facilitate using and evolving that
code in different places.
