This is a good (and ambitious) plan. Will you be using Chibi's FFI and
the native C library for all of these, instead of sockets?

Amirouche has a competition ongoing to produce static site generators in
Scheme.

I can at least start on the JDBC work also, since SQLite and Postgres in
C isn't that much work (many of the hard and uncertain parts are already
done).

Since Chibi is an R7RS Scheme, it would be good to have an R6RS Scheme
as well, e.g. Chez Scheme. I could think of doing a portable R6RS
implementation supporting only subprocess implementations out of the
box. But if someone else is enthusiastic about R6RS, I'd rather they
lead that effort since I already have my hands full :)
In any case, R6RS is still alive and we'd be doing a disservice to
Schemers not to support it as well

Thanks for volunteering to run things :) IMHO we've got off to a great
start, so this is looking very promising.
