Well, I have a little simple Comanche app which I wrote for the purpose of
testing a friends theories about using HTTP/XML without a RPC layer.

        http://www.unc.edu/~bparsia/DWChat.8.cs

I plan to enhance/comment it for the sake of the Squeak book's networking
chapter.

A simple modification would be to make it use HTML rather than XML.

If you want to start with a Swiki, I suggest peeking at the actions folder
for starters. And the templates.

Did you have a particular project in mind?

(Note it took me about two days to figure out comanche with no docs for the
DWChat. This included figuring out what we wanted to do :))

Cheers,
Bijan.
