Some feedback from John Clements. And finally, suggestions from the Scheme UK meeting: - PDF dumps of the content would be nice (as I imagine would HTML tarballs) - A R5RS function checker -- colour all R5RS functions a particular colour, making portability easier to check - Put BecomingAnAuthor on the home page N.

There is an RSS feed: http://schemewiki.org/Cookbook/WebRss?skin=rss It is linked off the lhs bar; clearly this information need to be reorganised, as it is 1/2-way down, below arguably less useful information, and confusingly in the Schematics box, not the Cookbook box.

Hmmm...would be nice but sounds like a fair amount of work. Alternatively, I think putting the top-level of the TOC into a box on the left or right side shouldn't be too hard. > And putting "TOC with recipes" on a more prominent place. All I can think is we get rid of the opening text, as the TOC is both on high on the left hand bar and the second link off the main text area. > That would be more logical, on the other hand this shows > more clearly > what other recipes there are. Agreed. Probably an implementation problem again -- I don't know if this is possible in TWiki without some coding work.
