Hello,
I'm a bit of a Lisp newbie.
I have an idea that I had planned to tackle independently, but after
stumbling across the gardeners project on comp.lang.lisp, I think it
would fits very well with the spirit of this project.
Having been slightly inspired by Lispbox, I would like to put together
a pre-packaged Lisp implementation bundle that is suitible for CGI and
FastCGI scripting "out of the box" - just unzip and go.
I'm envisioning a package that is easy to install (like I said, unzip
and go) and would work with many shared hosting accounts. Something
like this could really lower the barrier to entry to writing Lisp web
applications for many.
Obviously all the pieces are there - I already have this somewhat
working on my dreamhost account using CLISP - it's just a matter of
putting it all together and adding some polish. Here's what I'm
thinking:
* precompile the implementation with all relevant libraries
(install should be simple unzip - no compilation or install
scripts necessary)
* include all relevant CGI and FastCGI modules, etc. out of the box
* installation instructions on where to unzip the package
* a tutorial on how to write scripts using the new setup (what
goes in your shebang line, etc).
What do you think? Any suggestions?
