Scheme open source projects?

I'm learning scheme and was wondering if there are any active open-source projects I might be able to get involved in?

I'm nearing the end of SICP and although this has good complex examples no textbook code compares to real-world applications. eg testing code / benchmarking / revision control styles / sheer size and scope etc. Hence my curiousity at seeing a project in the wild.

I tried searching google code but only found projects that are interpreters that implement RSR5/6.

Perhaps there are not many projects out there and I should consider scala?!

Advice or even pointers to specific projects appreciated.

Update: wasn't clear that I'd prefer to work on a project written +in+ scheme rather than an implementation +of+ scheme.

Update 2: there are also some projects on github. Not many, but some.

I am also learning scheme. Read "Little Schemer" and wanted to try some real code. One small step to is to try writing GnuCash reports. Not really an open source project, but give something to try scheme in real life. This will also help to learn about GUILE which is official extension language for GNU operating system.

Have a look at schemers.org. The implementation page has a large number of scheme implementations. Many of these are open source would welcome volunteers.

Currently SourceForge claims to have 293 projects written in Scheme. You should be able to find something in there that is of interest.
