<p>
<a href="srfi-history.html">Since 1998</a>, the Scheme Requests
for Implementation (SRFI) process has been helping Scheme users
write portable, useful Scheme code. We write concrete, detailed
proposals and sample implementations for libraries and other
additions to the Scheme language, and we encourage Scheme
implementors to adopt them.</p>
<p>
If you're interested in reading existing proposals, writing a
new one (<a href="srfi-template.html">template</a>), providing
feedback on a draft proposal, helping with a sample
implementation, or reporting a bug, please read about <a
href="srfi-process.html">our process</a>, skim our <a
href="srfi-faq.html">FAQ</a>, and subscribe to some of our
<a href="srfi-list-subscribe.html">mailing lists</a>, including
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/srfi-announce">srfi-announce</a> and
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/srfi-discuss">srfi-discuss</a>.</p>
<p>
In addition to mailing lists about SRFIs, we host the Scheme
Topics mailing lists, which are for discussing specific subjects
that we hope may lead to SRFIs and other cooperative work, but
which are currently not ready for specific proposals through the
SRFI process. So far, we have these lists:
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemecomm"><code>schemecomm</code></a>,
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemedoc"><code>schemedoc</code></a>,
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemeorg"><code>schemeorg</code></a>,
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemepersist"><code>schemepersist</code></a>,
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemeregistry"><code>schemeregistry</code></a>,
<a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemetest"><code>schemetest</code></a>,
and <a href="https://srfi-email.schemers.org/schemeweb"><code>schemeweb</code></a>.</p>
<p>
Everyone is welcome to join our discussions. Please
<a href="srfi-list-subscribe.html">subscribe here</a>. (You
must subscribe in order to post messages.)</p>
<p>Every SRFI is hosted on Github, but if you'd like a complete
archive of all SRFI documents and code, please download <a

<h2>History</h2>
<p>
The SRFI process has been important to the development of
some of the official Scheme standards, including <a
href="http://www.r6rs.org/">R<sup>6</sup>RS</a> and <a
href="http://r7rs.org">R<sup>7</sup>RS</a>. It has been
running <a href="srfi-history.html">since 1998</a>, and there
have been many <a href="srfi-editors.html">different editors</a>.</p>
<p>
At the <a href="http://www.schemeworkshop.org/2018/">2018 Scheme
Workshop</a>, SRFI editor Arthur A. Gleckler gave a talk
entitled Growing Schemes: Twenty Years of Scheme Requests for
Implementation (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuqZKHwUygU">YouTube</a>,
<a href="https://www.brinckerhoff.org/scheme2018/papers/Gleckler.pdf">PDF</a>)
on SRFI, its history, and future plans. At
the <a href="https://icfp22.sigplan.org/home/scheme-2022#program">2022
Scheme Workshop</a>, he gave a follow-up talk entitled Scheme Requests for Implementation Status Report
(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzZfdPtHvOk">YouTube</a>).</p>
