I see one big obstacle... and one I hope can be overcome..there are lots of third party add ons for apache that would work seemlessly if we had compatibility with the more popular MODs for apache. If we had perfect emulation of (for example) mod_rewrite it would make quite a few packages that are popular (like gallery from gallery.menalto.com) work much better.. I think one of the best ways to get converts from the top webservers is to offer them invisible migration.. otherwise we have to limit ourselves to people willing to convert lots of code or people setting up fresh servers.. and neither of those are large in volume... Make it apache compatible at the basic level (with add on modules) and it will be a lot easier to convert them... > for magazines, update my website, and run naked through the streets if > necessary.
