Bravo. I am definitely going to try this out. A big barrier to entry for Scheme is getting a nice environment set up (you either have to tinker a lot, or just "trust" a pre-configured all-in-one environment and be at the mercy of the maintainer).

I think it could make having a simple, portable development environment for scheme much easier. Then you have a production environment for testing and deployment.

Dunno: DrScheme is very nice out-of-the-box.
