A Haskell Server Pages case study

[nibro]

Haskell Server Pages (HSP) is a framework for writing dynamic web pages, with support for both server-side and client-side pages, including Ajax functionality. One of the key features is support for literal XML syntax in Haskell source code.

Currently, HSP is very much bare bones and little fluff. All the basic machinery is in place, but has only been tested for small toy examples. What we need is a larger application written in HSP, for instance a wiki engine, blog engine, web forum etc. By this we hope to stress test the core functionality, but also gain a better understanding of what "fluff" is needed on top of the bare bones. In terms of output, that could mean (suggestions for) libraries to work on top of the HSP core, for instance a library for user handling (logins and passwords, sessions etc).

This project could likely be combined to good effect with the project for integrating HSP with HAppS.
