I wanted to avoid the inevitable political discussion but I guess it can't be avoided. We are being hosted by Source Forge for the same reasons that Savant, acWeb, tclhttpd, Throttled and other web hosting software is hosted there. It's a good site for collaborative software development. Everything is now in the same place and I'm grateful that I don't have to strain my back every time I need to update a file download or fix documentation errors. The old environment was technologically adverse to anything that has to do with open collaboration and it was a pain in the neck to administer ever since root access was withdrawn a couple of years ago.
Aside from running AOLserver.com on Source Forge (which uses Apache), it uses PHP, which is a scripting language supported on AOLserver as well. I took the opportunity, however, to convert all the AOLserver documentation, which is the largest part of AOLserver.com, from ADP to plain-Jane HTML. I think this encourages good writing practices and documentation style and has the added benefit of allowing you to download the documentation locally, not to mention make it easier to edit and to put a working and easily updated search engine (coming soon). Finally, the file manager makes distributing software a whole lot more consistent. How many times have you looked on the old AOLserver ftp site just to see the butt-old 0.9 version of something that's had major revisions, like openssl? Anyway, I hope you like it. Kris
