I am due to send a report for the HTTP server project to the ASF board this Monday, so if you have anything you would like me to send along then now is a good time to speak up.
Below is what I have so far. ....Roy ===================== Apache HTTP Server Project Status report for 15 November 2006 The Apache HTTP server project has had a relatively quiet quarter, with more time spent on ApacheCon and infrastructure moves than on the source code. We have no board-level issues at this time. In the last three months, we have added Graham Dumpleton to the PMC and Ian Holsman has resigned to focus on other things. We started a wiki at <http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/> for documentation and it seems to have attracted interest in the area of documenting configuration related instructions for integrating third-party products with Apache httpd. We should be encouraging packagers to use that space as well. The server project is currently responsible for HTTP Server PMC | |-- httpd | |-- 1.3.x (active, several committers) | |-- 2.0.x (dormant, several committers) | |-- 2.2.x (active, several committers) | |-- trunk (active, many committers) | |-- win32-msi (active, one committer) | |-- httpd-docs (active, several committers) | |-- httpd-*/docs | |-- httpd.apache.org | `-- wiki.apache.org/httpd/ | |-- apreq (active, two committers) | |-- mod_arm4 (dormant, one committer) | |-- mod_bw (dormant, one GSoC) | |-- mod_cache_requester (dormant, one GSoC) | |-- mod_mbox (dormant, two committers) | |-- mod_pop3 (dormant, zero committers) | |-- mod_python (active, four committers) | |-- mod_smtpd (dormant, one GSoC) | `-- test |-- flood (dormant, two committers) |-- perl-framework (active) `-- specweb99 (dormant, one committer) Incubator | `-- mod_ftp (active, 1-3 committers) There have been no releases of any of our products since August, though builds of httpd 2.2.x, mod_python 3.3, and libapreq seem to be in progress this week. There are a few things we need to do fairly soon. First, we need to clean up the above mess -- there should be a distinction between release-ready products and various experiments. Second, we need to find a way to lower the commit barrier for experiments and decide where to park the dormant ones. Finally, we need to open the doors to rethinking the entire server framework for httpd 3.0, with the potential for multiple competing alternatives and a serious bake-off. ....Roy
