Here is a post on using mzscheme for CGI.
For safe keeping, here is the code:
#!mzscheme -mqf
(define *query-string* (getenv "QUERY_STRING"))
(define (header type)
(string-append "Content-type: " type "; charset=iso-8859-1~n~n"))
(printf (header "text/html"))
(printf "Hello World~n")
(when *query-string*
(printf "[~a]~n" *query-string*))
(exit)
Here are some links to Scheme information sites. I haven’t heard of many of the distributions listed. For example, Scheme on the Palm Pilot!
An article by Chris Haynes discussing his experience with the IEEE Scheme standardization process.
Students who know procedural and object-oriented languages frequently have difficulty learning the functional paradigm. The purpose of this work is to facilitate this transition by designing and implementing a set of visual tools that help students understand how Scheme, a functional language, programs work. To achieve our goals we worked on the implementation of a Scheme interpreter and a set of visual tools for different key aspects of functional programming languages. Pilo Visualization Tools for Scheme (PVTS) emphasizes on the functional programming language paradigm and its visual representations. PVTS can be used by teachers as a teaching tool as well as by students as a learning tool.
Slide40 is a program for displaying slide presentations in a style inspired by the personal computers of the late 1970’s. The display mimics a TV screen showing only 40 columns of text in an all-caps font built from big blocky fuzzy pixels. I created it partly as a joke, and partly as a minimalist artistic reaction to the highly-decorative but meaningless presentations made by abusers of modern presentation software.
HOP is a new Software Development Kit for the Web 2.0. It relies a new higher-order language for programming interactive web applications such as multimedia applications (web galleries, music players, …), office applications (web agendas, mail clients, …), ubiquitous domotics, etc. HOP can be viewed as a replacement for traditional graphical toolkits. HOP is implemented as a Web broker, i.e., a Web server that may act indifferently as a regular Web server or Web proxy.

Here is a writeup on the 2008 JVM Language Summit.

Commercial Use articles focus on functional programming “as a means, not an end”. As such, we solicit papers about experiences using functional languages in commercial and open source settings. The purpose of a Commercial Use article is to document and assess cases where functional programming was used in a real world setting. We are interested not only in successes, but also in failures. Articles should distill experiences using functional languages so that others can learn from those experiences, whether the lessons learned be technical, organizational, or about the narratives used to make the case to management.
