Sorry I was unclear.  I was actually wondering whether or not we should just 
merge with NaviServer so as to consolidate the code/user base.

The current code is in very great shape. That means more than few bugs: it 
means that the code is easy to read and is well organized and mature. 

The main problem with any fork is you loose the talent of those who made the 
product interesting to us in the first place. If AOL stops development, you 
don't necessarily have to introduce the stigma of a 'fork' into the 
discussion. It is more of a continuation. (Maybe call the continued project 
Phoenix). It is easy to talk about the possibilities, but I would like to ask 
again that any soon-to-be-released code from AOL be released asap. 

I think the main issue with going forward with development outside of AOL 
would be maintaining control over the core development. Probably the first 
task would be to write a document of how everything works as a whole.
