No problem with that.

Still no problem with that.

Last time I have tried, I was in an urge to build a quick webapp for 
work. Today, I still have
work to do but I have more time since I am the "project leader". If I 
choose a Lisp framework
it is only because 1) I love common lisp and 2) I think it could be fun 
to build a web app with either
UCW or KPAX.

In fact, I want to use the best project _but_ I need to be sure I would 
not be alone if something
is going wrong ;)

Also, do you have "real life" examples of what can be achieved with UCW 
? KPAX author gave some
demos about the possibility offered by KPAX (a minimalistic reddit-like 
clone for example) and this is
exactly why, KPAX is still on my list of possible candidates.

Last, how is UCW development organized ? Is Marco still leading UCW ? 
Did it change ? Etc...
