Hello, What tends to happen is that people that want to do this consider themselves Scheme programmers, first and foremost, and who do not identify themselves with one Scheme system; so they release their code on their own site, with info on using it with various systems, and send mails to

Hi Noah, I think several Schemes already have a dynamic FFI with a C parser. Bigloo has one (info (bigloo) Automatic extern clauses generation), and it’s GPL’d code, which we could reuse. Larceny has something too. Thanks, Ludo’.

Hello, I think comp.lang.scheme is already a good place for this.  You quickly get feedback and many implementors seem to participate in it. Oh, great. I didn't know about that. Although I must say, it seems like there is a lot less coordination among Schemes right now than there should be.
