Here are some projects GNU would like help with:

1.  Rewrite the automake system in Scheme.
2.  Get elisp->Scheme translation macros/whatever working. 
3.  Go through the C parts of Emacs and determine how to repackage these
    as a shared library or rewrite as Scheme.  Make it dynamically loadable
    in to Guile.
4.  Filesystem translators for Hurd.
5.  Help with E-scape, and promoting a source-based (Lisp) Web.
