Great idea! I also propose a regex package (from lift?) and a standardized {Result, Success, Failure} trifecta.
I'm happy to share the pieces of lift that make sense to go into a larger repository. I have to review the IP assignment documents to make sure that changing the code from an Apache 2.0 license to a BSD-style license is permissible, but I don't expect that that's a huge hurdle.
Things in lift that might be better in the world at large:
- The Can[T] class (like Option with with Failure in addition to Empty)
- The Textile parser
- The RegEx stuff (a thin layer on top of Java's RegEx package)
- The Logging stuff (a thin layer on Log4J)
- The Helpers object (all sorts of conversion, date related stuff, etc.)
Thanks,
