Sounds like a number of people are interested. Please coordinate and
you're welcome to use the list to do so. As I wrote to someone else:
You do NOT need to use drscheme at all -- initially -- to
develop and use a language.
Ah, excellent... i misunderstood your message to the list, and was
already thinking of the languages on DrScheme's language menu.
Start with something as simple as
myFirstLang.ss
#lang scheme
(provide lambda #%app)
and use it
#lang myFirstLang
You will quickly see the limitation of this language, but
it's a start.

Once we have the language, we can decide whether we want
to hook it into the drscheme language menu or just supply
it as a module language.
Understood. Thanks for the hints.

I just kludged up a language that provides R5RS and "error", and
can be selected from a "SICP" entry in the DrScheme Languages list
or by "#lang sicp". The bulk of it is a clone of "eopl-tool.ss".
If Geoffrey or anyone wants to use this as a starting point, just
let tell me where to email a tarball.
I'd be happy to implement any Scheme dialect characteristics
expected by SICP, if someone tells me what they are.

We are looking for someone who is willing to create an SICP
language for DrScheme, including a test suite, documentation, the
hooks for making it a language level, etc. It's also possible
that a pair may wish to share this kind of work.
I would be willing to be a helper, a doer of grunt work, if
someone with greater PLT architecture experience were the leader.
