Open Source Project Diagrams?

Question

I am studying the scheme and wondering if there are any active open source projects that I could participate in.

I am nearing the end of SICP, and although it has some good complex examples, the tutorial code cannot compare with real applications. e.g. code testing / benchmarks / versioning styles / size and scope, etc. Hence my curiosity at the sight of a project in the wild.

I tried to find google code, but found only projects that are interpreters that implement RSR5 / 6.

Perhaps there are not many projects there, and I should consider scala ?!

Advice or even pointers to specific projects are appreciated.

Update: it is unclear that I would rather work on a project written + in + scheme + rather than with + scheme + implementation.

Update 2: There are also github projects. Few, but some.

Answer 1

SourceForge currently claims to have 293 projects written in the Scheme. You should be able to find something there that is of interest.

Answer 2

Take a look at schemers.org. The implementation page has a large number of schema implementations. Many of them open source would welcome volunteers.

Answer 3

I am also studying the circuit. Read "Little Schemer" and want to try some real code. One small step is to try writing GnuCash reports. Not really an open source project, but give something to try in real life. It will also help you learn about GUILE, which is the official extension language for the GNU operating system.
