The actual interface layer between different engines is a small amount 
of code:

     http://www.narf-lib.org/doc/classes/Web/CGD.html

On top of that, there's alot of functionality you can write.  Sharing 
that more difficult b/c it is api, aka judgement call.  Integrating 
Narf and Nora and all the other cgi replacements, then we'd have a php 
replacement.

I've integrated code from various other projects into Narf.  If the 
developers from those projects like the direction of Narf, then I'd 
love to give them commit access.

I think that a rich, low-level web api would be a good thing.  
Integrating WebUnit, Nora, Narf, Amrita all together I think would be 
quite useful.
