i'm no web expert, but of all the cgi related web packages i've looked into,
this one looks to be the most powerfull and well designed.  the fact that one
can design reuseable components seems immensely powerfull and would allow a
significant 'contrib' directory of pre-built widgets to build up quickly if it
saw much use.  in addition, it does not require a special web-server.

i have just started my first large project using this framework and am
interested in other's experiences with it?  i'm using amrita for all simple
pages but have not yet tackled the amrita/cgikit bridge code.  anyone else?
