I haven't touched Serveez or Guile much this year, either.

IIRC, very little was required to make the last Serveez Master work
with Guile 2.0.  Just a few dozen lines, and a resolution to the bytevector
question.
 
I know that TTN was trying to be formal about dealing with different
Guile versions and I'd just hacked something to make me happy.  But
shortly after, a lot of WWW stuff got sucked into Guile's core, which
killed my motivation to work on Serveez beyond what I needed for my
own play.

If I thought I were coding for an actual purpose, instead of dumping code
into the aether that is never looked at or commented on, I might find
some motivation.
