[Snap][Announce] New snaplet - Tasks

[Kamil Ciemniewski]

Hi all,

I'd like to announce first release of my new snaplet - Tasks.

Tasks let's you create app tasks akin to Rake in Ruby On Rails.

It works through routes and dispatches command line commands

through HTTP to given roue for task.

Routes for tasks are generated by handy function 'task'

which takes String for its name and generated hash used later

in routes.

When you fire some task - name that You give is also hashed

to match route.

Also 'task' function takes care of setting long enough timeout

( a month :) ) and letting you run handler only if you

run it from 'localhost'.

Code is at BitBucket:

https://bitbucket.org/kamilc/snaplet-tasks

Package is also on Hackage:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/snaplet-tasks-0.1

Hi Kamil,

This looks very cool. I have one comment. Right now it seems to me
that task specification would be a little more natural inside of a
config file instead of on the command line. Have you considered using
the built-in config infrastructure [1] to let the user specify tasks?
