[Koha-devel] Time to think Plack?

[Julian Maurice]

Hi Tomas,

As I haven't worked much with Plack, I am not sure to understand what
you mean by "thinking of Koha as a Plack app". Do you mean rewrite Koha
so that Plack::App::CGIBin is not needed to make it work under Plack ?

How is it related to the API implementation with Mojolicious ?
I believe Mojolicious apps can be turned into Plack apps quite easily.
Are you suggesting we should extend the use of Mojolicious to all parts
of Koha ?
