[swn] Scheme Weekly News for 2002-08-05


        This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the
        Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups,
        mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of.  The aim is to
        publish in multiple formats on the web each week, but more on
        that later.  Thanks for standing by during last week's holiday.
