Peter,

I like wiki's, am impressed by Twiki, and like the idea of more "best
practices" CGI::Apps available as open source. So I support this
project. However, I want to spend my own spare cycles turning Cascade
[1] into such an application. It's already written and working as a
CGI::App, but I'd like to make some big changes:

 1. http://summersault.com/software/cascade

 - All pages become valid XHTML
 - mimimize or elimiate use of global variables
 - move from one instance script and a mega module to
 	more instance scripts with smaller, hopefully more re-usable
	functions.
 - Switch to CGI::Session for session handling
 - use Data::FormValidators new validation features
 - use new OO image upload module (recently mentioned here)
 - better MVC design
 - possibly use mod_auth_pg 
 - better error handling / logging, possibly with Log::Log4Perl
 - better testing practices, using Test::More, WWW::Mechanize,
     Test::DatabaseRow...and friends. 

But we don't need to complete. I woud love to see your project get going
so I can see examples of best practices in action, and possibly
contribute as a beta tester.

	Mark
