Sounds reasonable. The developers on this codebase will probably be
mainly guile hackers rather than gnome hackers, so that seems about
right. Then we just have to figure out package names and module names.

The gtk-1.2 code uses the module name (gtk gtk), if I'm not mistaken.
See the previous email for my thoughts on namespaces -- there's no
collision here, in my eyes. The guile-gnome code that was in
gnome-guile-0.10 (I am getting confused now) uses the module (gnome
gnome). Hmm...

I guess ideally(tm) I would like the (gnome ...) namespace to be
reserved for the 2.x version. That does conflict with the current naming
of your project, does it not? Still, if you continue to use (gnome
guile) and submodules, there shouldn't be any problems.

The win-win situation would be to coerce you to join 2.x development,
hehehe ;-)

Do I have a correct summary of the situation?
