LOVE this project. My serious question is why wasn't this done in Racket as opposed to Scheme? Seems this would fit in Dr Racket wonderfully.

Because racket isn't as easy to get running on smartphones as something that just compiles to C.

With gambitc you are already there.

I know that, with Racket's move to the Chez Scheme interpreter, bits of core Racket C code are getting rewritten in Racket (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/racket-dev/2BV3ElyfF8Y...). I wonder if that might enable Racket to ultimately be able to run on other Schemes' infrastructure.

Is there a wiki or an issue to track progress of this?

I don't know. I'm only familiar with it because of the Google Group posting and associated Hacker News story from a while back.
