I have written some R6RS libraries (e.g., an x86 disassembler) that I want to put somewhere where people can find them. But when a library has been written it's almost never a big deal, and I for one am too modest to announce it on somewhere like c.l.scheme. A central repository for R6RS compatible libraries, like Perl's CPAN, would help increase adoption. If there also was a standard distribution of useful libraries, like the standard modules for Python, that would help increase adoption too. The administrator of the central library repository would be in a good position to create such a distribution. I'm hoping I won't have to create all this infrastructure myself. But I will contribute libraries if someone builds it.
