Dear all,
You probably already heard what was the Nico's secret project (well, part of :) last few months: ----- Iliad, a new lightweight web framework for GNU Smalltalk http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/nico/iliad-new-lightweight-web-framework-gnu-smalltalk For our personal needs, we wanted to have the following features in the framework: * standalone stateful widgets * REST-like applications * simple API * easy to setup and deploy (no complicated configuration step) In order to avoid to reinvent the wheel, we started it by reusing pieces of code from other libraries. In particular, we adapted the dispatch pattern from HttpView2, the composite element hierarachy for building HTML from Aida/Web, and the stateful Widgets from Seaside, however without using continuations. A bit of glue code was needed to make this work together, but we quickly ended up with something that actually worked. ------ I spend some time looking at Iliad code and I can say there are quite some new fresh ideas worth to look at for us too, so I invite all to look at Iliad and let we then discuss how can Aida adopt some of Nico's ideas as well.

Actually, Iliad takes ideas from Aida too ;) This list may not be appropriate to talk about Iliad, but if someone has questions about it, I'll be happy to answer. Cheers!
