I've found reading the rrrs-authors archives from http://www.swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/scheme/rrrs-archive.html very enlightening. Too bad it stops at 1998. For example, it reveals why Guile has the macro expansion problems it has. Maybe a pointer to that archive should go up on the Guile webpage somewhere.
