Re: what to do

[Tom Lord]

       well, you've suggested some sound engineering initiatives.  why not
       spearhead those efforts given the current state (code/people/momentum)?
       these initiatives -- i'm thinking of, specifically, more rigorous
       performance testing, and generally, more structured design process --

See "a new run-time for Scheme implementations", posted to this list
on 26-July-2001.  The largest obstacle is a lack of funding.  The
obstacle after that is recruiting the core team.


     personally, i'm looking forward to you sharing your experimental
     methodology that resulted in your above conclusion [that the Guile
     project is putting around the design space aimlessly]

You are interpreting the word "experiment" incorrectly.  My dictionary
has: "2. To try something new".
