Here is some advice on writing teachpacks for PLT’s DrScheme.
About teachpacks:
Teaching languages are small subsets of a full programming language. While such restrictions simplify error diagnosis and the construction of tools, they also make it impossible (or at least difficult) to write some interesting programs. To circumvent this restriction, it is possible to import teachpacks […]
Typed Scheme is a typed dialect of PLT Scheme. It integrates with modules written in other PLT dialects, and provides a type system designed to support common Scheme idioms.
Typed Scheme is a pretty neat language because it can can both use and be used by (untyped) Scheme code in PLT Scheme.
Eli released a library to facilitate interactive debugging in PLT Scheme.
Tom Schouten has kindly set up a PLT Scheme group in Linked In.

Have a look at Matthew Flatt’s thoughts about the pending release of PLT Scheme 4.0. He sets a definitive (if not authoritative) tone for what PLT Scheme v4.0 will, and will not, be.
Via the PLT Scheme blog, there is a video tour of DrScheme now available here with a higher resolution video available here.
This presentation at the Vancouver Lisp Users Group sounds like a lot of fun.
DrScheme is very, very close to its 4.0 release. I wanted to try out the newest bits on my OLPC XO using one of the nightly builds, but ran into the same problem as I did last time:
/home/olpc/apps/plt-3.99.0.25/bin/mred: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
