Actually, Alejandro suggested this already - there is an unofficial manual:

http://wiki.freaks-unidos.net/chicken%20scheme%20manual

Now, I have absolutely no problem with this. There is just one catch: I don't
want to maintain two versions of the manual, and we definitely need something
that can be installed locally. Personally, I would suggest that we use
http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br/coop, since it's internal format can be converted
relatively easily to/from other formats. What we need is a texi generator.
(any volunteers?)
