This message is being posted to various lists to inform members of the Scheme community on the development and current status of the next Scheme specification, often referred to as R7RS.
In early 2010, two working groups, WG1 and WG2, were convened by the Scheme Language Steering Committee (SLSC) for the purpose of drafting a revision of the Scheme programming language specification(s). Working group 1 was charged with the task of proposing a new specification for Scheme whose scope is comparable to that of the R5RS, with features that could lay the foundation for a larger language whose specification is being developed by working group 2. On 15 February 2012, WG1 and the SLSC solicited public comments on the sixth draft version of the "small" language ( http://www.scheme-reports.org/2012/call1.html ). That comment period was to end on 30 June 2012. While reminding everyone of that comment period, the SLSC is extending the deadline through 15 July 2012. We plan to call for a vote on the proposed specification sometime after the comment period has closed. In a few weeks, we'll send instructions on how to sign up for that advisory vote.
