I am trying to take a look at the status of r7rs large but I cannot find any information in scheme reports page, etc, just a talk from 2013. I searched around with google without success as well.

  • Is it still alive?
  • Where can I find information?
  • What would be the tentative date?
  • What is the progress at this point?

Thanks.

  • This sounds like a question that is a better fit for the scheme-reports mailing list rather than StackOverflow: http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports – Asumu Takikawa Sep 11 '14 at 14:00
  • This is more ProgrammersSE question. They used 5 years to ratify R7RS-small so if we see a draft of large by 2016 they are lightning fast workers. – Sylwester Sep 11 '14 at 14:50

    Maybe you should come to the Scheme Workshop 2014, to be held in Washington, DC! http://homes.soic.indiana.edu/jhemann/scheme-14/ – John Clements Sep 11 '14 at 16:26

You can read about the R7RS process on the R7RS working group wiki. R7RS-large is listed under the "Working Group 2" section of the front page.

In particular, look through the StandardDocket and ConsentDocket sections. Standard docket is for stuff that's under discussion (and eventual voting). Consent docket is for generally-uncontroversial stuff that's likely to get into R7RS-large without having to be voted on.

There is no firm timeline that I am aware of (though I'm not part of the working group and do not speak for them). The standard docket is quite long, though, and they will have to process through most/all of it before you have anything that you can call R7RS-large.
