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

[Casey Ransberger]

I should repeat myself on this: don't try to fork it. Build a layer of
indirection, a compatibility layer that maps what Seaside (and its
dependencies) need to what Cuis has.

Andreas put me onto this pattern around the time he released his Traits
implementation...
