I haven't seen my messages from yesterday show up, so I'll try again.

I didn't get anything. Any ideas as to what failed?

The CL-CGI library I initially sent the request for was mostly a small package which would ease writing CGI programs. Basically it set some variables according to the environment passed from the server, and has a url decoder to decode HTTP post and get data.

Since submitting my initial request I have taken this small idea further into what I am calling CLHP, the Common Lisp Hypertext Preprocessor. Basically what this is is the ease of PHP with the joys of Lisp. You can create dynamic content using lisp embedded in XML processing instructions.

Right now I have a working version which works with Apache, through a lisp CGI gateway. But I plan on writing a Apache module.

The CLHP name is really a working name right now, since XML is not really just a Hypertext thing, this could also be used independently of a HTTP server.

I hope that's a good enough description, I'd really appreciate it if you would agree to host this and be willing to enable the server to run it.

I think the project sounds good, and should be hosted.

Did I understand correctly that you would like to be able to change the name afterwards?

Regarding running this on the server - I don't know. It certainly is a posibility, although I am a bit hesitant on going down this road too fast. Erik is the one who runs the box, so it is he who has the last word, btw.

I think that it should have some minimal robustness before we change to it, and should have some experience with it, but other than that, I find the idea appealing.
