It can now be installed, has minimal docs (from dorodango), and passes distcheck. I trimmed dependencies and otherwise folded things under the (guild ...) namespace. Also it is the (guild ...) namespace right now -- I am having trouble with metaphors. It seems like the guild-hall package doesn't actually install the guild hall, more like it gives access to guild halls that might be on the internet. Anyway, something to figure out. I think that the right answer will come once I move the commands down from under "guild hall" -- so "guild update" instead of "guild hall update". > Next up: > > 1) Check status of dorodango functionality. > 2) Fix things that don't work. > 3) Profit? > 4) Start thinking about hosting and accounts and UX and stuff. I still haven't made much progress on the first three, but as regards the last: >. Igalia did kindly offer, but Ludovic made the good point that we should try the FSF first, and they do seem to be able to host a VM for us, so we will probably use the FSF. But beyond hosting the bundles and available.scm, I am still not clear on what guildhall.gnu.org should offer. It should probably have a facility for submitting packages, along with a GPG keyring. Perhaps it should run tests on the whole guildhall archive every so often, for consistency and also for style perhaps. Perhaps it should host documentation.

I'm still interested, though maybe it will be easier when things stabilize a bit. We should probably figure out where to host the guild-hall stuff as well. In the meantime patches and such are most welcome! Clone the archive above and get to hacking :-) Andy --
