I'm not sure installing MySQL and Apache is such a big deal, even on 
Windows. The first time I had to install both on Windows, I could do it 
without any problem. Their respective executables (.exe) are easy enough 
to use to do it in a few minutes. Also, the most difficult part to 
install is Perl, not the other two above, IMO.

Related bugs and discussions:

- SQLite: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337776
- lighttpd: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415529

Now a few questions:
- does SQLite support UTF8 and transactions?
- does lighttpd support mod_perl?


About the UI, there is nothing new here. We already had this discussion 
several times on IRC, especially with mkanat and pyrzak (and again no 
later than yesterday, with pyrzak). We have several ideas in mind; just 
waiting to have the time to implement them.
