Happstack 0.7 - happstack-state focus

• add some elegance to website design
• refactor happstack-state so that update / query can take a handle instead of using a global IORef
• make sure that the right thing happens if the server dies in the middle of creating a checkpoint file (http://groups.google.com/group/happs/browse_thread/thread/5b2d57caafa3cbe)
• merge digest authentication from hackage
• see if there is a good way to set the state of a Saver for testing purposes

Ongoing and Unscheduled Goals

• Replace HTTP lazy I/O backend with an iteratee backend (hyena perhaps)
• test suite coverage
• documentation (haddock, wikipages, etc)
• code size reduction (refactoring, hackage-module replacement of internal code)
• fixing compiler warnings
• improve / robustify / test / document multimaster replication
• dynamic code loading (hsp & hstringtemplate for example) for fast development
• make current TH code for state nicer (no errors, more usable)
• componentize guestbook app
• sharding support
• easy REST interfaces (maybe TH maybe not depending on how urlt shapes up)
• Focus on end-user usability & toolsets
• Scaffolding scripts
• Standardize logging facilities of MACID/webserver/partitioning/replication
• Easy REST (template haskell?) for MACID data access
• Full sharding support
• Full multimaster support
• Developer code-generation tools (migrations, projects, akin to Rails)
• Data Management tools for MACID (logging, export, recovery)
• Complete Documentation
