You are even auto-converting R7RS->R6RS libraries for Chez which is awesome. I'll make use of this right away. Chez is gaining a lot of traction now that it's open source. That metadata looks great too. You have all the dependencies, and the names of all the exported symbols for a lot of libraries. That's a very good start. I created a GitHub organization <https://github.com/schemedoc> and invited you along with other people in case you want to contribute and/or follow the progress of this metadata aggregation. > The chez-srfi package provides most SRFIs, so you can perhaps compare > the data with your own parsers. That's a very good idea. It doesn't sound too hard to do a cross-validator so I think we should definitely do it. It'll be exciting to explore Chez anyway so why not :) > The file format is very close to how Akku works > internally, so my apologies if the format has oddities. No problem, S-expressions are easy enough to traverse anyway :) It would be great if we had somebody who's really good at designing APIs and organizing information. I for one have no particular talent in those areas... Designing stable interfaces and data models for the long term (decade+) is a very different skill set than most programming requires.
