Docs: not yet, really
Patches: welcome

This is *not* complete, it's *not* doc'ed, but it *is* getting production use 
and it *does* work, at least for us.

It's got a component-driven UI model and first-class action classes ala Jifty 
which I suspect will make stuff like page regions much easier to do than 
vanilla Catalyst, and a reflection-based approach to generating stock CRUD 
actions that allows something somewhat like scaffolding but in our experience 
far more extensible.

It also uses TT only for rendering with a subclassable templating approach 
that allows automatic rendering of basic widgets etc. but still provides 100% 
flexibility to customise the HTML output for theming.

Anybody who's interested in what we've been doing, give it a prod. Be aware 
that this is the result of a dozen thrown-away prototypes going back as far as 
I've been playing with Catalyst, and even so the design is in no way set in 
stone. I'd just rather have anybody who likes it working with it, rather than 
re-inventing wheels we've spent a long time thinking about.
