|
<p>Like Guile itself, the Guile reference manual is a living entity, cared
|
|
for by many people over a long period of time. As such, it is hard to
|
|
identify individuals of whom to say “yes, this single person wrote the
|
|
manual.”
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Still, among the many contributions, some caretakers stand out. First
|
|
among them is Neil Jerram, who has worked on this document for over ten
|
|
years. Neil’s attention both to detail and to the big picture have made
|
|
a real difference in the understanding of a generation of Guile hackers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Next we should note Marius Vollmer’s effect on this document. Marius
|
|
maintained Guile during a period in which Guile’s API was
|
|
clarified—put to the fire, so to speak—and he had the good sense to
|
|
effect the same change on the manual.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Martin Grabmueller made substantial contributions throughout the manual
|
|
in preparation for the Guile 1.6 release, including filling out a lot of
|
|
the documentation of Scheme data types, control mechanisms and
|
|
procedures. In addition, he wrote the documentation for Guile’s SRFI
|
|
modules and modules associated with the Guile REPL.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Ludovic Courtès and Andy Wingo, who co-maintain Guile since 2010,
|
|
along with Mark Weaver, have also made their dent in the manual, writing
|
|
documentation for new modules and subsystems that arrived with Guile
|
|
2.0. Ludovic, Andy, and Mark are also responsible for ensuring that the
|
|
existing text retains its relevance as Guile evolves. See <a class="xref" href="Reporting-Bugs.html">Reporting Bugs</a>, for more information on reporting problems in this manual.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The content for the first versions of this manual incorporated and was
|
|
inspired by documents from Aubrey Jaffer, author of the SCM system on
|
|
which Guile was based, and from Tom Lord, Guile’s first maintainer.
|
|
Although most of this text has been rewritten, all of it was important,
|
|
and some of the structure remains.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The manual for the first versions of Guile were largely written, edited,
|
|
and compiled by Mark Galassi and Jim Blandy. In particular, Jim wrote
|
|
the original tutorial on Guile’s data representation and the C API for
|
|
accessing Guile objects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Significant portions were also contributed by Thien-Thi Nguyen, Kevin
|
|
Ryde, Mikael Djurfeldt, Christian Lynbech, Julian Graham, Gary Houston,
|
|
Tim Pierce, and a few dozen more. You, reader, are most welcome to join
|
|
their esteemed ranks. Visit Guile’s web site at
|
|
