(With Scheme, if your project's anything like mine, portable libraries must be bundled into the project to have any chance of things working. I certainly wouldn't want to have a user fetching and "installing" them.) PLT has PLaneT, of course, but personally I think it would be desirable to have basic, common packages target R6RS if they can fit there comfortably. If no one else steps up, can PLaneT be made a multi-language package manager, as Racket is a multi-language implementation? Perhaps those of us who want portability across other Schemes would port the basic PLaneT tools to work with the hypothetical subset of R6RS PLaneT packages? Other Scheme's would be second class citizens, but it would be nice to have SOMETHING to plug into for packages. Just a thought, -Ryan </div>
