Re: Future of the cookbook

Schematics is LGPL, at least according to the SF project pages.  I don't much care about the license, myself. 
  
I agree with your list, a section on GUI programming would be good.  The strings chapter could use a ton of work, I like using SRFI 13 & 14, but there's a number of useful string manipulations that aren't included, and this is perfect fodder for a cookbook, little chunks of code that people can lift wholesale.

OK, so what shall we do about it? Here are my ideas/questions: 

1. Replace the licence. I won't write anything major under FDL. The 
rest of Schematics uses mod' BSD, doesn't it? 

2. What are the "Using PLT Scheme" sections for? They are nearly all 
empty. 

3. Web Programming I can add a lot to. I also probably should clean my 
cgilib and publish it. Stuff like XchemeRPC and SSAX would be good to 
describe too. 

4. Where in CVS is the source? What do I need? 

5. Database programming is the obvious omission. I guess the DB API 
needs work yet. I'm using it heavily, so I know it works pretty well, 
but I'm being selfish and not publishing. That is wrong.
