Hi Marc et. al., MJ Ray brought this project to my attention -- I think it's a great idea! I write a lot of Guile Scheme code, and I'd love to contribute packages / ports / support / etc. One package I noticed (conspicuously) missing from the repository, though, is Oleg Kiselyov's SSAX/SXML modules (http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/SXML.html). Might I suggest the creation of an "XML" category to house it? It's already been ported to, I think, all of the Scheme platforms that Snow supports. Full disclosure: I develop and maintain two Scheme packages, SDOM (http://www.nongnu.org/sdom/) and SCSS (http://www.nongnu.org/scss/), respectively a DOM implementation and CSS parsing/query system, both of which depend on SXML and which I'd love to see included in Snow at some point. Independently of anything I'm doing, though, I think XML parsing is a pretty important component of modern systems interoperability, and I hope there's a place for it in Snow.
Regards, Julian
