Having a standard module system for Gambit would also give access to the JazzScheme libraries :
- contrib.aes : Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) symmetric key block cipher - contrib.fmt : Alex Shinn's fmt combinator-based text formatting library - contrib.irregex : Alex Shinn's irregex regular expressions library - contrib.match : Alex Shinn's hygienic pattern matcher library - contrib.sqlite : SQLite database engine - contrib.statprof : Guillaume Germain's statistical profiler - contrib.termite : Guillaume Germain's distributed computing termite - contrib.zlib : ZLib compression library - jazz : The Jazz object-oriented programming language - jazz.catalog : Code cross-referencing library - jazz.debugger : Remote debugger implementation - jazz.designer : Visual GUI designer - jazz.detprof : Deterministic profiler - jazz.git : Interface to the libgit2 library - jazz.graphic : Cairo graphics interface - jazz.graphic.opengl : OpenGL interface - jazz.ui : Cross-platform UI library - srfi-1 - srfi-13 - srfi-14 - srfi-19 - srfi-26 - srfi-34 - srfi-69

Hello everybody!
I would like to start out by saying a thank you to Marc for making Gambit. It is an awesome piece of software! Keep up the good work!
But I would like to point on the lack of standard libraries for things such OpenGL, cocoa / the windows equivalent etc. (there are a few in the dumping grounds but they are incredibly outdated)
Starting up using gambit has required a great deal of self guided exploring and trickery. And I can not see any reason why it should not exist any kind of simple examples for beginners to look at. I do know that there are one to be found on the site however I find it a bit too "technical" for some people.
To the question!
I had a little idea to ask you guys if any one you are interested in making a little development project to update the basic libraries needed. Maybe some of you already have such things and I encourage you to upload them to the dumping grounds! Sharing is caring! :) I will start working on doing these things myself but I must admin I neither have enough time and experience to do a good job all by myself.
If you have an interest send me a mail!
Best regards, Tomas Möre
