Yes,   maximum functionality with minimum code is definitely the catch 
phrase for this idea!

What about having a section of the website containing a folder for each 
of these extensions.
Each folder would contain:
   * a documentation file explaining
      - where to get the most recent jar files,
      - how the Scheme interface works
      - simple and interesting examples of using the scheme interface

   * the scheme library and any associated Java helper classes ...

   * the jar files themselves?? (or perhaps we could write a Scheme 
program to download the latest jar files from wherever they are....)
   * the licenses for the jar files
   * the licenses for the scm and helper java code ...


Then we could have a main page which links to each of these folders 
with a brief explanation of what the jar/scm code does?

How does that sound?

we could do antlr and jogl and a few others as demonstrations to see 
how well it works.

Best,
---Tim---
