</div>It's not done! I have a large number of changes on my local machine<br>
that I haven't had time to finish up yet. It lacks benchmarks,<br>
sufficient test coverage, and documentation (including tutorials).<br>
<br>
It's simply not polished enough yet and doesn't incorporate what I've<br>
learned about Haskell server development the last year or so.<br>
<br>
I do plan to return to Hyena after finishing up some lower level stuff<br>
like the event library -- yes, I'm yak shaving.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>While we're discussing Hyena, is there any possible of it using the wai package? I wouldn't mind doing the grunt work of porting it over (in fact, I already started this).</div><div><br></div>
