# Introduction

This is the reference documentation for Gerbil. We aim to exhaustively document the Scheme primitives, the Gambit primitives, the Gerbil core prelude, runtime builtins, the standard library, and the Meta-expander context.

The idea of extensive and easy to use documentation is at our forefront. This is still a WIP and there's more to come. If you need certain things now see the R5RS document for basic Scheme primitives used as a part of our prelude along with the Gambit Manual for our underlying implementation internals.

If you're viewing this as a webpage online almost every page has a link whereby you can edit and request a commit. Even if it's just pointing out the issue every part helps.

When information is missing, out of date, or unclear, it's a bug! If you cannot edit try to contact us (by email, on Gitter or GitHub, etc.) and we'll get it done.
