Description

Following our recent API redesign discussions (see http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Sling+API+Redesign in particular), I have started working on "microsling", a webapp that demonstrates my understanding of the "most important parts" of Sling.

The goal is to create very simple codebase that helps in understanding how Sling processes HTTP requests: the current Sling codebase contains many (useful) things which are not central to Sling's vision, and make it hard to understand what Sling is really about.

The first version that I'm going to commit to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sling/whiteboard/microsling is probably not worth looking at in detail, I hope to have a "good enough for review" version in a few days.

Note that I have not studied Sling's internals in detail - I'm starting from scratch based on my current understanding of how things work. The goal is not to replace any of the Sling's current code, but having a very simple thing to play with will hopefully help us in our simplification efforts.
