Software: Kudzu

Kudzu is a web application platform developed on top of Somata. It uses the multi-language property of Somata, and allows you to use the scripting language of your choice to develop web applications. The Kudzu core handles most of the details of HTTP transactions for you, including access control, state management, caching, and request throttling. It also provides an installation-wide account mechanism, providing sign-up workflows, login / logout services, group management, and access control lists.

This means that when you sit down to write a web application, you only need to worry about the features of the application itself, and not the adminsitrivia associated with them. It also means that when you install two applications that run on Kudzu, your users do not need to sign up or log in again; the credentials for one Kudzu application work for all Kudzu applications.

Kudzu is still under development. No code releases are available at this time.
