+The Guile reference and tutorial manuals were written and edited
+largely by Mark Galassi and Jim Blandy.  Significant portions were
+contributed by Gary Houston and Tim Pierce.
+
+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 much 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.

+Known Guile documentation bugs                -*- outline -*-
+
+* The building of HTML docs is dependent on GNU Make
+
+This is because the Makefile.am's for the Guile reference manual and
+tutorial use a $(shell ...) command to list the set of HTML files to
+install.
+
+Probably this will not be fixed until Automake gains proper HTML doc
+support.  On the other hand, if we've overlooked a more
+version-independent way of achieving the same thing, please let us
+know.

+Changes since Guile 1.3.4:
+
+* It's now possible to build HTML documentation as well as Info
+
+The guile-doc distribution now supports building HTML versions of the
+Guile tutorial and reference manual, in addition to the standard Info
+documentation.  To enable this, include the `--enable-html' option
+when you run `./configure':
+
+     ./configure --enable-html
+
+HTML documentation is installed in $(prefix)/html/guile-$(VERSION).
+
+
+Changes since Guile 1.0 (Sun 5 Jan 1997):
+
+* The current documentation approach, recommended by Jim Blandy, is to
+have: (*) a tutorial with the pedagogical style of guile-user, and a
+non-dry reference manual in the style of the most excellent GNU libc
+reference manual: the reference manual should be complete, but at the
+same time it should have an introductory screen for each major topic,
+which can be referenced if the user goes "up" a level in the info
+documentation.
