Do you mean http://sourceforge.net/projects/gemacs/ ?

"Guile Emacs is a variant of Emacs which is integrating the
 Guile Scheme interpreter as an extension language in addition to
 Emacs Lisp."

Because that isn't Emacs.

Or do you mean http://www.mit.edu/~raeburn/guilemacs/ ?

Guile-based Emacs:  "This project that I (Ken Raeburn) have started is
for converting GNU Emacs to use Guile as its programming
language. Backwards support for Emacs Lisp will continue to exist, of
course, but it'll be through translation and/or interpretation; the
Lisp engine itself will no longer be the core of the program."
