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.
