+Subject: Mes 0.15 released
+
+I am pleased to announce the release of Mes 0.15, representing 45
+commits over 3 weeks.  The GNU toolchain is getting bootstrapped!
+
+As of 0.14, Mes+MesCC compiles a self-hosting TinyCC.  Using the 0.15
+Mes C library, this TinyCC can build the GNU tools triplet:
+binutils-2.14, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5.
+
+This means that we can build a GNU toolchain that depends only on a
+critical 1MB ASCII M1 seed.  GuixSD currently uses a ~250MB binary
+seed to build gcc.
+
+Next targets are: upstream the Mes bootstrap to GuixSD, build a
+Gcc-4.7 and Glibc-2.23, bootstrap utilities like bison, flex, grep,
+sed..., replace GuixSD's bootstrap for x86 and reduce the 1MB ASCII M1
+seed to ~5000 LOC/~100KB of M2 source, which is a restricted subset of
+C.
+
+Packages are available from Guix's wip-bootstrap branch.
+
+* About
+
+    Mes[0] aims to help create full source bootstrapping for GuixSD[1]
+    as part of the bootstrappable builds[2] project.
+
+    It currently consists of a mutual self-hosting Scheme interpreter
+    prototype in C and a Nyacc-based C compiler in Scheme.  This C
+    prototype is being simplified to be transpiled by M2-Planet[3].
+
+    The Scheme interpreter prototype (mes.c) has a Garbage Collector,
+    a library of loadable Scheme modules-- notably Dominique Boucher's
+    LALR[4], pre-R6RS portable syntax-case[5] with R7RS ellipsis, Matt
+    Wette's Nyacc[6], Guile's PEG[7] --and test suite just barely
+    enough to support a simple REPL (repl.mes) and simple C-compiler
+    MesCC.
+
+    Mes+MesCC can compile an only slightly patched TinyCC[8] that is
+    self-hosting.  Using the Mes C library, this tcc can now build the
+    GNU tools triplet: binutils-2.14, gcc-2.95.3, glibc-2.2.5.
+
+    Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: LISP-1.5[9]
+    -- John McCarthy page 13, GNU Guix's source/binary packaging
