We would love to develop more of our ideas in Pharo, but we are completely allergic to doing sys admin. We don't want to deal with anything below the Pharo application level.

This is a big orthogonal but I know that laurent laffont worked on Harbor. The idea was to provide a better Seaside hosting in the same that you could install it in an easier manner on your machine.

I imagine that the work done by nicolas P and mariano/esteban around mongo, fuel� fit perfectly.

Our requirements are pretty simple. We need a way of uploading an image, and some standard for of persistence. At this point, we would be perfectly happy to make compromises by agreeing that it had to be e.g. Mongo or whatever (although ideally it would be gemstone). We just want to make some progress on this.

Personally, I think lots of bits are coming together.

Yes me too.

We now have various persistence options, websockets (both in Zinc and Aida-web), OAuth ( in both places again), and lots of other exciting elements. We just want a really simple way to take advantage of them.

Does anyone else feel this need?
