This has now changed to "Tentatively beta". Scheme is, of course, a fine language for just about anything, but it's not as popular as it could be in some fields like web scripting. Maybe this is mainly because setting it up isn't really trivial, and documentation and tutorials are scarce and take some effort to get working. You might find it useful if you're a website programmer who'd like to try something different from the inescapable php. Or if you're a scheme hacker who'd like to put up a simple website for one thing or another without fussing about too much. I'm sure it's still far from perfect, so please don't rely on it for any projects that are critical to you. But it might be useful and convenient to some who were already looking for something like it, and are familiar with the concepts. Amongst the things it has to offer are: *cgi guile *editing/uploading over webdavs *mysql *the guile-web module For any questions or comments feel free to mail me directly, or if they are of general interest, onlist. But please note it's not a commercial project, so please adjust expectations accordingly. It's just something I found practical and extended it a little so it might be practical for others too. friendly, Andreas
