I heard, from trusted sources, that a portable implementation of Termite is underway. I won't give names, to protect the innocents, but trust me, we'll hear more about that this summer (or at the end of it).
This implementation will also support signed message passing. This means that a system will only be able to receive messages from trusted sources. THAT is interesting.
You'll be able to connect together different Scheme applications, developed using different Scheme systems. Will this be a way to re-unite the Scheme community?
What do you think? Is it a better approach than providing a common packaging infrastructure? I tend to believe it.

Good to hear. Do you know if there will be lightweight processes like in gambit scheme or erlang?
Nice! Is the protocol documented so other language implementations can join in on the message passing? So you can send messages from erlang, to scheme, to factor, for example?
@anonymous: To be honest, I don't know. But that would make since.
@chris: I'm not involved in the project, so I can't tell. But since the protocol will be implemented in Scheme, I guess it will be easy to extract it and reimplement it in other languages. That would be very nice, indeed.
