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. -- ~jrm _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
