Hello everyone,

I am starting to put a page together which will sumarise the current 
approaches to using Metacard for creating "web applications."

You can find the start of the page at:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0114573/categories/mc/metacardwebapps.html

In the meantime I'm interested in determining any known issues and 
limitations with Metacard and CGIs.  I've started trying to list these 
on the above page, but I'm sure there's lots more, please email me your 
contributions!

I'm making and example MCCGILoader stack which will demonstrate how to 
build an extensible CGI framework using Metacard stacks.  Should have a 
first release of this ready in a day or two.

I'd be interested in an example script showing how to add binary data 
to a postgreSQL database via database, eg user fills out form on web 
page, attaches a file and submits.  MC CGI stack receives data, adds 
file to database.
