Thanks David!
Now I just hope I can actually find something interesting to
contribute after that welcome :)
The first thing I was pondering about was a way of easily using
Scalate templates if folks wanted to use, say, Scaml (like a Scala
version of HAML) instead of the usual XML template files in Lift...
http://scalate.fusesource.org/
I know template engines can be like IDEs - very personal things and
I'm totally happy for folks to use whatever template engine/markup
floats their boat - I just figured a bit more choice for lifters might
be a good thing?

Taking the discussion to the main Lift list.
basically its a very concise way of making markup - though its a
different kind of templating engine to the one in lift where there is
no code at all in a template and you bind via reflection XML elements
to functions which then replace elements with values or apply other
transformations etc.
I've used lots of different template engines over the years; they seem
to all have strengths and weaknesses - it mostly depends on what the
make up & skills of the team is & how the team work with web designers
etc. If I'm on a project where I don't have to chuck templates over a
wall to be edited by a web designer I find the Scaml approach a little
easier on my brain & fingers with the cost that there's no IDE to
render it other than the actual web browser and there's code in the
template which can be viewed as a bad thing - YMMV though.
