Docker containers are nice, but I don't think it will help newcomers.
I've seen College freshmen that have assignment in Scheme, I don't think they
will know how to use Docker.

We need to have a website that is user friendly for people with different
backgrounds not only those that are tech savvy.

Links to different implementations installation pages are ok, Racket looks
like perfect implementation that have installer in form of exe file that all
Windows users know how to use:

https://racket-lang.org/download/

Gambit can be installed on Windows from Chocolatey:

https://gambitscheme.org/latest/

But Guile for instance can be installed only on Linux (which is
understandable since it's GNU project).

We can include links to those that are easy to install.

Or to not favouring any implementation we can create a table with:

Windows | Linux | macOS

and supported method of installation. This should be not hard to create,
similar to survey.

and for Guile we can write that you can install in WSL with link to what WSL
is.

I can try to create a table if you think it will be a good idea. I can do
this in Markdown maybe since I'm not that familiar with the scripts used to
build the website.
