I didn't mean any wrong with this mailing list, I've learned many things
here. It's just a suggestion we may add new things for our
communication.
With the developing of Guile, we do need new things to share more,
say ,wiki/forum...
And guilers may share tutorials/articles/projects on it, like other
community does.

I think this place is nice! ;-)
Besides, I'd like to share tutorials/articles in English/Chinese on the
wiki.

The problem is, who's going to create/maintain it? Any volunteers?
And could this be the official part of Guile?
