I personally need that reference manual very badly, even if it's just a plain text file: I've just spent this evening deducing the workings of define-macro by experiment. Autoconf comes with a standard INSTALL file which maintainers append to. Guile should do something similar: it should come with a standard tutorial and function reference, for scheme only. Then when someone plugs guile into their app thay can take the standard tutorial and reference manuals and add to them. Agreed, the world will be knee-deep in guile manuals, but that will be a nice change.
