Actually, Alejandro suggested this already - there is an unofficial manual:
http://wiki.freaks-unidos.net/chicken%20scheme%20manual
This is a great idea. I'll go read everything at Alejandro's site ;-)
and see if I can contribute anything.
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?)
I'll volunteer a few cycles, though I don't use streams and I know
Alejandro is fond of them, hope that's not a barrier to entry. :-)
I'll need to brush up on my texinfo, though, it's been a while.
