 Lift is an expressive and elegant framework for writing web

 providing

   * Seaside's highly granular sessions and security
   * Rails fast flash-to-bang
   * Django's "more than just CRUD is included"
   * Wicket's designer-friendly templating style
 .
 Lift applications are written in Scala. You can use Java libraries and
 deploy applications through a Java Servlet Container of your choice.

Lift is still in development and hasn't yet reached 1.0. I wasn't sure
if I wanted to package it myself, so I'm just recording it as a
packagning candidate here. If someone wants to pick it up, please do.
Apart from the Apache License 2.0, the package includes software under
other licenses; see liftweb/OtherLicensedWorks.txt in the Lift SVN
repository.
