RE: Cookbook release

Announcing to plt-scheme is fine with me.

BTW, I'm going to be out for the next 6-8 hours, so any server-admin type
support will have to wait till I get back.

Looking forward, there are some issues I think we should take care of before
announcing to c.l.s.  The announcement should make the PLT focus very
clear - the #scheme denizens seemed to have the impression that the Cookbook
was intended to be much more implementation-neutral.  As Felix pointed out,
emphasizing SRFIs where possible doesn't make the Cookbook any more friendly
to other implementations.

We may also need a more explicit policy about allowing "gratuitous"
PLT-specificness to exist, if we want to allow that, since otherwise
reactions like Taylor's may be common: "why is xxx PLT-specific, you can do
it with a SRFI like this".  If someone wants to document some PLT-specific
functionality, even if it has a SRFI counterpart, we perhaps need to be able
to mark the topic as "intentionally PLT-specific".
