You have read the SRFI FAQ, right?
I really think that there should be a place to archive
non-implementation documents.
You're not alone! There seem to be lots of people who disagree with
the editors on this point. We will almost certainly address this
need in the not too distant future - possibly within the SRFI
process, or more likely with a separate process. If you have ideas
on how this should be done, please send mail to
<srfi-editors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Why don't you two actually follow its advice and establish a forum for
coding standards and design docs? I dunno whether there's actually a
compelling need for that, but you could try. It would be better than
trying to submarine the SRFI charter.
