A few days ago, Alex made this helpful list of features he found missing in
naviserver:

And I agree with Maurizio that using the aolserver windows make/project files
on Naviserver is a good course of action.
As to Alex's points above:
1) if conn still available via global variables, and just not passed to procs
registered in ns_register_proc ? If so, not too hard to code around it.
2) I've been using ns_cache instead of ns_share for a while.
http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/Ns_cache -- or as suggested on the wiki,
http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/Thread-shared_Variables -- I don't have any
code that uses ns_share, but maybe there's a lot of historic code that does?
3) persistent ns_set -- does nsv_set not do this?
http://panoptic.com/wiki/aolserver/Nsv_set
Personally, a wiki page entitled "moving from aolserver to naviserver" with
things that we all find as we give it a try, would most helpful.
In a few weeks, I'm starting a complete rewrite of Magnatune.com and will try
to get started with it on Naviserver.
