@section Contributors to this Manual

||||||
|
|
||||||
The Guile reference and tutorial manuals were written and edited
|
|
||||||
largely 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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Significant portions were contributed by Gary Houston (contributions
|
|
||||||
to POSIX system calls and networking, expect, I/O internals and
|
|
||||||
extensions, slib installation, error handling) and Tim Pierce
|
|
||||||
(sections on script interpreter triggers, alists, function tracing).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tom Lord contributed a great deal of material with early Guile
|
|
||||||
snapshots; although most of this text has been rewritten, all of it
|
|
||||||
was important, and some of the structure remains.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Aubrey Jaffer wrote the SCM Scheme implementation and manual upon
|
|
||||||
which the Guile program and manual are based. Some portions of the
|
|
||||||
SCM and SLIB manuals have been included here verbatim.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Since Guile 1.4, Neil Jerram has been maintaining and improving the
|
|
||||||
reference manual. Among other contributions, he wrote the Basic
|
|
||||||
Ideas chapter, developed the tools for keeping the manual in sync
|
|
||||||
with snarfed libguile docstrings, and reorganized the structure so as
|
|
||||||
to accommodate docstrings for all Guile's primitives.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Martin Grabmueller has made substantial contributions throughout the
|
|
||||||
reference 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.
