In order of importance:
1) Full documentation of all guile functions (scheme level), organized by
topic.
2) Full documentation of all guile data types, and the functions that
operate on them (this overlaps with (1)).
3) How to extend guile with new functions and new data types at the C level.
4) R[45]RS.
5) Guile extensions to scheme: GOOPS, the module system, new data types, etc.
6) Scheme tutorial.
7) Lots of sample scripts; how to use guile for typical scripting tasks.
8) Guile internals.
