Ok so on to the scheme community's new web framework : "Scheme on Skis" (thanks Marc).

Anyone that has a component or is working on a component related to web applications
are welcome to contact me.  I welcome the use of already-developed modules that can
simply be used in the web framework.

I am already in the process of developing such a framework in R5RS (+ SRFI-0) Scheme born out of my endless frustration with Ruby on Rails. I currrently have a DB access framework and page template processing code working, but I do not have CGI or FastCGI interface modules yet. The only truly non-portable part that I have in the framework so far is the MySQL interface code which relies entirely on Larceny's FFI. I also have to say that I don't expect to be able to write a truly portable FastCGI layer, either, but I do expect to be able to isolate the dependencies to a very small code module. I would port this whole thing to Gambit, but I don't have native executable build capability for Gambit on Windows (which is pretty much mandatory to use the Gambit FFI, IIRC).
