[plt-scheme] Call for Participation: Writing Typed Scheme wrappermodules

I'll give it a try and will let you know ASAP whether or not I feel I can 
handle this task.
It's bedtime now where I live (i.e. Spain) so I won't respond emails within 
the next 8 hours or so.
Tomorrow, after doing my administration duties, I'll study on it.

`scheme/math' is probably the simplest.  Can I put you down for that one?

Thanks,
