I've started working on Scheme tutorial it's a draft and only in Polish, but
it have code examples that you can look at the code is in English. I plan to
finish it I hope I will have time in 2021. And translate it to English. And I
hope that others would join and translate it to other languages.
I wanted it to be crash intro course that include everything that is
important. The license is Creative Commons Attribution share-alike.
The idea is to make it interactive, I was thinking about sidebar with REPL or
bottom one, like my bookmark that work on any website.
Another idea is to use something like Klipse quick intro to Scheme[2], Klipse
itself is Open Source, but the tutorial is not.
