Very nice collection and well organized :) This is the best summary of
Scheme books I've seen.
I like the retroactively coined names R0RS, R1RS and R2RS for the
initial Scheme reports. They are consistent with the rest of the
numbering and make the whole series easy to understand. John Cowan has
also adopted them at <https://small.r7rs.org>.
IMHO it would be great to have a page of Scheme books that are
accessible to working programmers. "Readscheme", the comprehensive
bibliography of academic papers & books, is awesome but can be a bit
intimidating to the casual explorer.
I sent you an invitation to the <https://github.com/schemedoc> GitHub
group. Feel free to commit or make new repos if you have some ideas.
Things are not very well organized there yet.
