Hi Lassi,

thanks for your kind words - and the invite.

I only found the time to read through the first part of the SRFI machine-parsing thread with no time yet to process all that info. Various non-trivial tasks have been discussed in great detail, with often strong arguments for opposing proposals.

I thought about Kent Pitman's article/post, where he described the history of the Common Lisp HyperSpec - and the incredible amount of effort (and money) which has been spent there - and which still shows. Given that Scheme often choses the opposing end to CL, it's hard to see a balance between the creativity of Scheme's great individuals and characters and the girdle potentially coming with the goal of a common infrastructure, which is comparable to what most developers are used from other language environments of today.

As I can't yet see the forest for the trees, I guess I'll simply try to find a concrete small piece to work on.

You may already know that the official versions of the SRFI documents are also stored publicly on GitHub at the <https://github.com/scheme-requests-for-implementation> organization (managed by Arthur). We also have an <https://github.com/srfi-explorations> organization for various experiments in scraping/re-structuring/validating the SRFI HTML.

I just need to read through those one or two posts and documents before ;)

Regards, Frank
