MPSCM is an extension to the MzScheme dialect of Scheme that provides facil-ities for distributed programming with a message passing base and higher-level distributing constructs designed in a more functional style. This paper provides a description of the MPSCM environment and an analysis of the results in terms of performance, expressivity, and usability.
This blog post looks like it might be a good introduction to the idea of “Code Shelves” and how one might use them in Subversion.
An ancient paper (July 1978: 30 years ago) from the long gone Lisp Bulletin by Harald Wertz.
The system describes attempts to improve incompletely specified Lisp programs, without however resorting to more information, in the form of specifications, test cases or the like.

Managing Gigabytes helps you to meet this challenge by showing how to capitalize on new methods of compressing and accessing data, enabling you to store information more efficiently and locate specific items more quickly and cost-effectively than ever before. It uniquely covers fully-tested techniques for both text and image compression and shows how to construct [...]
The Netflix Prize seeks to substantially improve the accuracy of predictions about how much someone is going to love a movie based on their movie preferences. Improve it enough and you win one (or more) prizes.
Anyone looking for programming fodder might have fun applying their current language of study to Netflix’s problem and massive data [...]
Elk [Scheme] is an implementation of the Scheme programming language. In contrast to existing, stand-alone Scheme systems Elk has been designed specifically as an embeddable, reusable extension language subsystem for applications written in C or C++.

Codeswarm provides “Organic software visualization of project repositories.”. In other words, you point it at your Subversion repository and it makes really cool movies showing who did what over time. Here is an example of the PLT source tree.
