I agree a config language is overkill, but thi has a point with his
wish for a more schememely format. As you say, a project is a record
with a bunch of keys, so why not simply ask for an alist? For example:
((name . "Guile project submission parser")
(author . "Greg Harvey")
(status . "Extensively tested.")
(code . "(read)"))
Could it be more convenient?
