[plt-scheme] Questions on PLT status and project structure

A splendid idea (no, I'm not heavy Perl user). Ti's almost always better 
to borrow/steal than to reinvent ;-)

For an old troff guy (and then Java Doc), I find the old Scribble docs 
prettty opaque and needlessly "why" oriented
and not appropriately "how" oriented.   Then again, I haven't viewed the 
Scribble docs from the latest release.

There is always a balance between immediate user needs/wants and more 
"systemic" developments to a code base, the
benefits of which only show up down the road a bit.  I just think there 
should be a more or less constant and transparent
meeting of the minds on these two trajectories within the PLT project 
(or any large project, for that matter).
