Hi.
I talked with Matthias Felleisen and Ryan Culpepper this afternoon about

I thought I'd give it a shot, so here's what I have so far:

Racket Community,
We use the book Simply Scheme at my high school. Danny Yoo did a wonderful
job adapting the library content for that book, but he left the code for
random numbers in place. The book assumed versions of Scheme that might
not have *random* and provided a fixed seed, meaning ev

Hello all,
I was using DrRacket in Danish the last few days, and saw that various
strings were missing translations. Searching the DrRacket repo on Github
didn't lead me to them - where should I look to contribute updated strings?
Thanks!
