I think replacing the prosper-package with ha-prosper wouldn't be
a good choice. I'd like to provide ha-prosper in a separate package
so when TeXciting is available there aren't any breakages with
prosper.
Recently I investigated some time in LaTeX based presentation tools.
The consequence was:
1. Prosper is nice but development tsopped since about 3 years.
2. HA-prosper was kind of continuing the work of prosper. It is
more enhanced and I even builded some packages for my private
use of it until I noticed latex-beamer (see below). My impression
was that while it is superior about prosper and should prosper
replace regarding to this fact it is not really worth packaging
because development is stalled as well because of the new
TeXciting project.
3. LaTeX-Beamer has compatibility modes for prosper and ha-prosper.
It is much more feature complete and flexible than both above.
There is absolutely no reson to investigate time into any
*prosper package because LaTeX-Beamer is the package your
really want. For an example see
http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/200503_peking_cdd/index_en.html
I do not know anything about TeXciting and thus I can not compare
but before crowding the archive with a package like ha-prosper
try LaTeX-Beamer.
Kind regards
Andreas.
