The “R7RS” lists are accessible read-only via Gmane:

  http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.scheme.reports
  http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.scheme.reports.wg1
  http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.scheme.reports.wg2

It’s read-only because these are Google groups, which require a Google
account to post, I think, and the list admins insisted on allowing only
member postings...

Only per-SRFI, though.

That’s because it takes a lot of talk to reinvent the wheel!  :-)

Thanks,
