Yes, absolutely. A project I've wanted to run with for a bit is writing a Scheme implementation in PyPy. It would provide a wonderful way to better learn the parts of Scheme I don't know, and use Scheme alongside Python code (which is nice, because it would mean I could conveniently use Sexps as a data language and do the data handling in Scheme, but do the real work in Python, for example). I'd been looking into some of it idly, but as you say, there isn't much.
More significantly, one of the projects I've been working on really requires a new language, and while I could implement using, say, PyParsing and so on, having free JIT is really nice.
I've actually been working on a Scheme to Python bridge, but it's currently very primitive and exists mainly to allow embedding the Python interpreter in PLT Scheme.
