Proceedings of the Scheme Workshop 2003
This wes held in conjunction with LL3. The site has a PDF and PS of the proceedings. Many of the topics complement those in LL3 and would be interesting to non-Scheme programmers as well.

The paper on well-shapred macros looks promising. I hope I can find the time to read it soon.

Jay McCarthy has posted his notes here.

Some on the key points are that in 2 weeks a committee will be announced to manage the creation of a new Scheme standard, possibly named R6RS.

Just read the well-shaped macros paper. It's worth your time too!

Before we go into details, don't others think that explicitly typed macros in a latently typed language are, well, kind of funny?

Greg Cooper also gave his FrTime ("Father Time") demo at LL3 the next day. You can see it in Real Video or Windows Media on the website of the LL3 conference.
