[comp.lang.scheme] scheme repository needs code...

oz@nexus.YorkU.CA (Ozan Yigit) (03/12/91)

I have been trying to put together a scheme-code repository for the
benefit of scheme community, and I could use some help. What I want is to
have a large repository containing lots of interesting, relatively standard
[IEEE/R^3.99RS] and (semi) portable PD/Near-PD code for benchmarking,
education, research, development and fun. Such a repository should (if it
were to contain some nice stuff) also prove interesting for those of us
developing and distributing scheme interpreters/environments [this is how
the repository came into being], and for those of you who are actively
teaching scheme.

I already have some material in the repository, and more material that
needs quite a bit of work to put out, but the repository still needs your
help [and code].

If you have anything that *you* would have wanted to see in such a
repository, [if you were out looking for some neat/useful/interesting
scheme code] than please consider contributing to this repository.

I include the current README of the repository for your information.

Table of Contents:

advent.scm		A simple adventure game written in an object
			oriented style mostly by a 10-year old. [posted by

conform.scm		This code has something to do with graph coloring,
			but I really do not understand it. I also do not
			know who the author is. It is heavy-duty grinding
			for most scheme interpreters.
