Sterling,

Would you like to add some text on hvac and your other web libs
to our web programming wiki/faq,

    http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Practical_web_programming_in_Haskell

Ideally, in a few months time, with enough additions, the full 
story will be covered on this wiki page, and it will be a great
boon to developers wanting to work in Haskell, in this hot area.
