(I'd volunteer to work on it, if there is interest...) I've got lots of interest - client protocols are a major PITA, and guile can provide that with minimal effort on my part, but I don't want to be giving away too much access. Ideally, I'd give the client 'sandbox' guile, perhaps with a single 'authenticate' function defined. Once authenication passes, the client would get more power, with sensitive stuff (like disk access) available only through wrappers. I don't know if this is already possible; I'm not working on this area at the moment, and I know guile's module system is being overhauled, which I expect will affect this situation. -Eric
