I am convinced we could attract some students, but I don't want to

possibility is that I know Clif Flynt, Jeff Hobbs and other Tcl folks
are putting together an application. So perhaps the better approach
would be to list some AOLserver-related projects with their application.
What do folks think?
An idea I floated a little while back was to make aolserver a competitor
in the space of web hosting (particularly, one server hosting many
independent domains). The main projects here would be
- creating a configuration file wizard (to get up and running quicker)
- adding new virtual hosts to a running server
- user-setuid operation (that is, let the server read/write files as the
owning user of the account, rather than as the server user. This would
almost certainly require some kind of proxy process). Executing code as
different users would be good too but once you get the file permissions
out of the way that's less important. Database access is still an issue
tho.
The response I got was somewhat chilly in general ("if you want apache
you know where to get it") tho better from a few people on the
naviserver project where they're more interested in trying out radical
ideas :)
