I largely sat out the R6RS process.  This time, I'd like to be more pro-active.

I have compiled a list of `Scheme Implementations'.  You can view it here:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=twRSWnj1h-j_F3IHRXxwrmg&output=html

The list is not intended to include *every* Scheme implementation, but it is
intended to include implementations that are somewhat `active'.  No
doubt I missed
some, and no doubt there are errors.  I invite - no, I implore -
people to send me
corrections and updates.

Here are what the columns mean:
  A - Timestamp  The date the row was last updated so we will know how current
                         the information is.

  B - Name         Name of the implementation or family of implementations.

  C - Home Page  URL of the implementation home page.

  D - Category     1 - Educational - Developed and maintained for teaching.
                                                  Development funded
by university.
                         2 - Commercial - Developed and maintaned as a business.
                         3 - Platform - Non-commercial development for use as a
                                             programming platform/environment.
                         4 - Experimental - Developed in order to test
or explore
                                              non-standard features.
                         5 - Toy - Developed for fun.

  E - Organization   What organization is associated with the implementation.
                             Please help me with this one.

  F - Implementor   Who is maintaining the implementation.
                            Need help with this, too.

  G - R6RS --- NOT whether the implementation supports it or not, but rather
                     if the *Implementor* voted Yes or No (no mark is
abstain) on
                     ratification.

  H - Latest Release - what is the latest version number

  I - Latest Release Date - When was that version released

  J - Metric jrm-A  -  A number I arbitrarily assigned to `rank' the
implementation.

                             I would like others to provide an
*objective* way to rank the
                             implementations.  It does not need to be
fair or reasonable,
                             but it should be objectively calculable
and provide some insight.

  K - Freshmeat Popularity  -  An arbitrary popularity metric from Freshmeat.

Questions and comments are welcome.
