+There's a tool that doesn't come bundled with Guile and yet can be very
+useful in your day to day experience with it. This tool is
+@uref{https://gitlab.com/a-sassmannshausen/guile-hall, Hall}.
+
+When you start a new project, Hall creates a folder
+containing a scaffold of your new project.
+Such a scaffold will include your basic Autotools setup, so
+you don't have to take care of that yourself.
+
+The scaffold contains a directory for your tests,
+for your libraries, for your scripts and for
+your documentation. So you immediately know where to put the
+files you are hacking on.
