  • Be a complement to SRFI, R7RS, and work together following the goals set by the steering commitee, and R7RS-large working group charter;

  • Release yearly stable versions: next, and first stable release planned in 2023;

  • Aim for portability across Scheme standards, Scheme implementations, and operating systems;

  • Libraries are collectively owned;

  • Resolve debates by talking;

  • Libraries inside unstable are always subject to change;
