I think weblocks is a bit of a over kill. I have never used it but from what I saw in the documentation it is big and in my opinion might carry to much over head. I am sure it has its right full place but I am not sure this is it.

What I was thinking about was free standing widgets that don't need a whole framework to carry them. A specification for something like this would include a list of common properties/functionality and general methadoligy (persistance,state...etc) that would fit in with hunchentoot's design and strong points. 

Regards
Phil
