I think lalr-scm was a good candidate for this. Turning it into a Sno package solved many packaging problems.

That would be nice. But the first step would be to turn Silex into a macro to achieve a better integration with lalr-scm.

Here is my wish list:

 - web application server infrastructure, whatever that means
 - XML parser / writer (can SSAX-SXML be easily repackaged?)
 - JSON support (I will probably contribute that one real soon)
 - Database support (I have a prototype for the native PostgreSQL interface)
 - Logging 

I will also eventually contribute the following packages:

 - Asterisk Manager API interface (www.voip-info.org)
 - FastAGI interface (www.voip-info.org)

I really like snow!
