[Cuis] Has anyone taken a look at porting Seaside yet?

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Folks,

I applaud and support this initiative. However, this is a bit outside my 
expertise, and I can't spare a significant amount of time for it. Count 
me as supporter. I do promise to help. And (as usual) I'm open to 
thinking together which incompatibilities can be better fixed by adding 
or modifying some protocol in Cuis, vs. including them in a 
compatibility layer.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
