More SRFI reviewers needed. srfi@xxxxxx 06 Jan 2016 19:09 UTC

Happy new year, Scheme users and implementers!

We need your help.

Partly as a result of the R7RS-large standardization effort
(see <http://trac.sacrideo.us/wg/#WorkingGroup2Charter>),
there are now twelve draft SRFI (Scheme Requests for
Implementation <http://srfi.schemers.org/>) in progress:

  <http://srfi.schemers.org/draft-srfis.html>

  SRFI 121: Generators
  SRFI 122: Nonempty Intervals and Generalized Arrays
  SRFI 125: Intermediate hash tables
  SRFI 126: R6RS-based hashtables
  SRFI 127: Lazy Sequences
  SRFI 128: Comparators (reduced)
  SRFI 129: Titlecase procedures
  SRFI 130: String cursors
  SRFI 131: ERR5RS Record Syntax (reduced)
  SRFI 132: Sort Libraries
  SRFI 133: Vector Library (R7RS-compatible)
  SRFI 134: Immutable Deques

While there has been excellent discussion on each, I would
like to encourage more Scheme users and implementers to give
their feedback on the SRFI documents and their reference
implementations, tests, etc.  Participating in the
discussion is an excellent way to help shape the standard.
The goal is to make sharing code between Scheme
implementations more practical and pleasant.

If you're interested, just read a SRFI document in which
you're interested,
e.g. <http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-121/>; review the
discussion archive; sign up for the associated mailing list
(or <http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-list-subscribe.html> for
all SRFI discussions); and post away.  We're grateful for
all constructive feedback.

Thank you, and happy scheming!
