Oldest Scheme Implementations
STklos was indeed born in 2001, but it was the successor of Stk, which is much older. Its first release was in 1993. As far as I know, STkos did use code from STk, so I'm not sure one couldn't say it was born in 1993, as "STk".

How to Detect a Cycle in a Linked List
When developing Cyclone Scheme I discovered the latest R7RS Scheme language specification requires that several procedures handle circular lists.

Tail Call Optimization by Base Jumping off the Stack
Over the years various solutions have been developed to meet this requirement such as trampolines, goto's, compiler optimizations, etc. One of the most unusual was proposed by Henry Baker in his paper CONS Should Not CONS Its Arguments, Part II: Cheney on the M.T.A. (PDF).

If you had to pick a Scheme to write a standalone application which would you choose?
Gambit, and consequently Gerbil, are not very mature and still need a bit more of a environment. Stklos could also be interesting, as well as Cyclone.
