And even more pertinent to this list, Casbah is going to use Guile
(basically, GNU's Scheme) to extend this object store. Once the language
translators are written for Guile, we'll be able to offer scripters their
choice: Scheme, CTAX, Perl, Python, TCL, even elisp.

It's a fun project.

If you have Scheme experience, or even if you don't, and are interested in
building a content management system, you may want to look at
