Yep, that's what I thought, especially if the latter doesn't buy us much
practically, which I suspect.  After all, we're just talking about 20
entries or so I suppose, not hundreds.

I was thinking about something completely manual: send an email to
`guile-user' explaining the plan, then wait for submissions and
copy/paste them in the page.  We could also be kind enough to explicitly
email individuals when deemed appropriate, although it's not
unreasonable to expect them to hang around `guile-user' IMO.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
