New Project?

I've recently completed a weblog publishing engine that I'm calling WordUp! using PLT Scheme[1] and SSAX.  I'd like to open source the code and I was considering doing it on my own, but it occured to me that it might be a good fit for Schematics (I also use the Schmatics SRFI 19, since PLT's is missing a few things).  The engine is implemented as a CGI, I'm running it under Apache.  WordUp! uses the Atom 0.3 format as the storage format and implements the Atom API for posting.  The engine as it stands has a few problems: 
  
1) I used this project as a way to learn Scheme, so you can imagine what the code looks like. 
2) I'm using  few PLT specific libraries (file, url, and net come to mind), so it's not portable. 
3) Right now, all the HTML rendering is tied to my layout.  Obviously, for this to be generally useful, the HTML rendering would need to be customizable.  At this point, I'm not sure how best to approach this. 
4) I've implemented only the "create entry" command. the rest of the API would need to be implemented. 
5) Various other apis like Trackback, Pingback, and the Comment API still need to be implemented. 
  
If anyone wants to have a look at the code, it's available at [2]
