General questions
Jonathon McKitrick
will handle web based surveys in corporate settings. It will need to
do PDF output and dashboard display of the results. I am an
experienced Hunchentoot developer. Would Core Server be able to fill
this need?

Hi,
Building surveys would be easy, nevertheless, i've never tried to do pdf
output. I know that there is a library for that in CL. If it doesnt work,
you can always use defcommand to employ unix commands that creates pdf's
from a certain type of input and serve.

for the reports, so that should be easy.
The feature list is extensive, and mentions some very modern
technology.
Here are a few more questions:
- Is Core Server Being used by any organizations yet besides your own?
- How would you compare Core Server to the other common lisp web
frameworks?

Hi Jonathon,
We sell a web service named Coretal.net to our customers. Currently, the
number is around a dozen.
I think, i cannot answer the comparison question since i do not know much
about other CL web frameworks. I have experience only in ucw. Core-Server
is the successor of ucw in some sense. We do not use any of the code of ucw
except arnesi library. Yet we've learned a lot during the development.
Finally, we've tried to implement a sound basis over rfc implementation to
be solid plus, some nice component functors to be able to develop rich user
interfaces.
Regards,
Jonathon McKitrick
page or edit domains.
I would like to experiment with the site to learn more about Core
Server.

I like to have one person design my page in html and css, and then
render it with a template. Core Services seems to use common lisp for
everything, including web page design, correct? How can I import and
use an HTML and CSS design or theme this way?

Nice,
I didnt get what "I cannot copy a page or edit domains" means. Maybe you
can see the demo at http://demo.coretal.net/ plus the video at the index
page. The domain name should be the fqdn of your site like www.coretal.net.

Core-Server web component allows implementation of component on the client
side, therefore you do not need usual templating engines.
Also, Coretal.net is design agnostic. We do not host your HTML/CSS design.
You host your own site. Just add the script line given by coretal.net and
you are ready to go. You can change your design anytime you want.
Please refer to the first 3 minutes of the video. I think it'll clear this
issue.

Lisp. Very cool.
I still cannot register, however. The register button takes me to a
blank widget. After creating an account I cannot log in. I also
asked for a password reset, and clicking on the link leads to a blank
page that never finishes loading.

Ok, you can probably login now.

37k non-test lines. How long did it take you to complete this
project?

Btw, I've fixed safari bug, cross-domain cookies were not working. Thanks
for pointing out. It's probably fine now.
