I've come to the conclusion that as I have neither the time nor inclination to spend my spare time working on Maypole, and I haven't used it for any paid work for several years, I won't be investing any more time on actively working on it.
However, I could be persuaded to work on it for a decent fee, and I would be happy to apply any patches applied and release new versions with fixes.
I'd also be happy to hand over the reins to anybody who wants to take over.
I do have a lot of ideas in this area, but family and work commitments mean that I'll more likely experiment on top of the newer frameworks that exist than try and rework Maypole beyond recognition.
I still think there is a large hole in the "market" for a more high-level app server than Catalyst, etc providing something more like Drupal in perl but I'm not entirely sure how to do it.
I guess I'll just see what happens, in the meantime I have plenty of other open source code I'm interested in and hacking on - from Autodia to Padre and Plack.
WebGUI.

I don't think it is.
I want something built on a good MVC foundation using best-of-breed tools like DBIx::Class and Template Toolkit.

Modern WebGUI
http://github.com/preaction/modern-webgui
So far works as a plugin to WebGUI in view-only mode. Working on edit mode next. Then adding the flexibility that Plack offers and some other things. Not ready for a beta release yet.
Model : DBIx::Class (subclassed through WebGUIx::Model)
View: Template Toolkit (well, for templates at least)
Controller: WebGUIx::Asset (also a model, for configuration purposes).
Not an official WebGUI project, just scratching my own itches. YMMV.Re:That hole is called...

Now that *is* interesting.. I'll take a closer look
:)
The Padre team will be happy to receive your help

Already hacking on Padre

The autodia plugin prototype is in SVN and worky.. http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk/images/padre_autodia_screenshot1.png
