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.

The term open source refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit. Unlike proprietary software, open source software is computer software that is developed as a public, open collaboration and made freely available to the public.
Select an open source license for the source code to be released, document all licensing requirements very clearly in your project. Decide if you need a contributor agreement. Consider the possible non-software outputs from the community and the appropriate licenses, such as documentation and specifications.
Currently SourceForge claims to have 293 projects written in Scheme. You should be able to find something in there that is of interest.
