What's Narf? http://narf-lib.sourceforge.net Narf is an alternative CGI api that builds off of Wakou Aoyama's standard cgi.rb. There were a number of changes we wanted to see in the CGI api, but it didn't seem to make sense to try and push all those changes onto the standard api. So we created an experimental fork of CGI. Narf is alpha right now. There is code, it does work, but there are still bugs and we are doing alot of refactoring as we flesh out the organization of the code. For example, recently we renamed the modules to Web instead of CGI, so that they can co-exist more peacefully alongside Wakou's code. There should be another alpha release soon; we am sorting out some build dependencies, and when that is done will be another release. ~ Patrick (and perhaps by proxy, Tom Clarke)
