[AWS] Writing a wiki software with aws

[Christian Forster]

Hello,

My Name is Christian Forster and I am from germany. I have written a wiki 
software for private use in perl. Now, almost satisfied with the outcome a 
thought it would be a good idea to reimplement it with a faster language.

Knowing ada from work, I think, despite the elaborate code it would be a good 
idea to use it for some type of web application.

But before I begin, I want to be sure that some things do work or are at least 
available in ada.

I would need the following features:

* some type of flex/yacc - tools to write the parser to transform the 
wikimarkup into html. This is now done with a executable written in C which is 
called seperately as a process
* support for xslt, which is now done with xsltproc and I think would be 
better to be integrated
* a print or pdf library to render the pages as pdf. at the moment i use 
PDF::API2, the code could be converted to ada, but I need some backend to draw 
the characters and images on the pages. Some cairo wrapper could be sufficient 
if it is available.
* SSL support (I think, that is available)
* picture conversion/resize/mangling libraries for at least png,jpg and svg. 
The more the better. This is now done with imagemagick.
* some type of safe server side scripting. I use at the moment JE for that 
purpose, but that is really, really slow. This is needed to give the writer of 
the texts in the wiki the possibility to do some automation or form-handling. 
The best would be to have some type of javascript engine since all is written 
in javascript. If only other languages are available like lua, this would be 
also ok.

Is this possible?

Christian
