With a high probibility that Chicken users will be coming from other  
PLs, I think a series of "Chicken for Python Programmers", "Chicken  
for Ruby Programmers", etc could be very helpful. Where are my hashes?  
How do I do string concatenation? Where are my objects? These  
questions, and more, should be answered.

I suggest we draft Hans (http://4.flowsnake.org/) for the Python  
doc. :-)

I'll add these tasks to the Wiki.
