I think the Hunchentoot mailing list is a suitable starting point to discuss such a framework up to the point where enough traffic has been gathered to create a suitable standalone project. common-lisp.net is a free hosting service for Common Lisp projects, just let me know if you want me to set up infrastructure.
Yeah, but what are the chances that it will end up with something superior to weblocks? Pretty low I guess..
Not all needs are the same, and it may be that there is an interest in whatever Phil comes up with as a mission statement for his widget library. I don't know Weblocks, but I have glanced at its web site enough to know that it is not a fit for my development model. I'm assuming that other people feel the same.
My point is: Hunchentoot is and will stay being a HTTP server library and not include any "widget like" functionality that interoperates with a database, requires a certain development model, supplies or assumes a model for flow of control between server and all that. Hunchentoot does not even know about HTML, and rightfully so.
