I think you need to comment on the AfD page. Probably the most useful thing to do is add citations to published papers and/or books about Racket for specific features. Here are a few examples: - Typed Racket: Tobin-Hochstadt and Felleisen, The Design and Implementation of Typed Scheme - Scribble: Flatt et al, Scribble: Closing the book on ad-hoc documentation tools - the web server: Krishnamurthi, et al: Implementation and Use of the PLT Scheme Web Server All of these papers (and citations for more things) are available here: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/ although Wikipedia standards will want citations to the proper location rather than a web page. > > And the talk page > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Racket_features > > Thanks, > > Joan. > > > > > > _________________________________________________ > For list-related administrative tasks: > http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users > -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
