Q: How can we upload static files? images, css, xslt, etc...

There is an editor attached to each page where ACLs allow it (a hapispace by default allows only the owner of the space to edit pages). The gui allows upload.

We are working on other ways of uploading files. The aim is to be able to view your hapispace static files as a filesystem using webdav or some such. We have some rudimentary emacs lisp for doing this already.

Q: Can we make XSLTs without coding them?

Not yet. We're hoping that through people using hapispace we'll be able to see common patterns where composable XSLT can be done.

However, have you tried writing XSLT? It's really very easy.

Q: How can hapispace handle FORM parameters?

It handles them by making FORM parameters available through XSLT. So you can attach to a hapipage an XSLT that reads the parameters and does stuff with them. Like this:
