It isn't and it will not be for a time. At the moment, I'm attacking the
problem from the other side after hearing myself say 'YAGNI' about all
the bells and whistles that I ported over from my own VW web development
toolkit. So, I decided to go for the minimal document management system,
which is of course a Wiki ;-). This also has to do with practical
reasons, because I need something to show on my own website soon. 

The biggest thing that kept me from pursuing Sagan at the moment is the
structuring of information, access controls, etcetera - all nothing to
do with Seaside, and in fact I have a little voice in my mind that is
nagging me about the desirability of a web-based document management
system (in other words, it wants me to write the management bits in
Morphic and only use Seaside for publishing; you want to work with it?
Download the plugin - something along that line). 

As Avi said, the really hard part is in the domain code. When you solve
that, slapping any UI on it is a breeze.

Yeah, and add it to SqueakMap when you find it ;-)
