That's not how it works in an Apache community. If users are interested in the capability and someone in the community is interested in developing (and supporting) it, barring architectural/technical/legal objections, it will happen. A plugin, on it's own, would not generate much in the way of architectural/technical objections... If the plugin was driving a lot of changes in other parts of the server, then there might be some objections. But, I doubt that would happen... So, assuming there aren't legal/licensing issues, there's nothing preventing this... Perhaps you're interested in helping to develop it? ;-) --kevan
