Yes, I'd love to see some experience reports about the light web
servers. And anyone who's tried the Amazon or CouchDB or other
non-traditional storage bindings,

    http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/CouchDB
    http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/hS3

Also, HAppS is making a serious push these days, in particular, via
gitit,

    http://lhc.seize.it/ (the lhc homepage is gitit running in happs)

And HAppS has become far more available since stabilising.

Maybe it is time for a "Haskell for the Web" collection.
