Suggestion: Write a blog post with your thoughts and a description of your in-progress module, then point to it here. It is very possible that multiple people have submitted a proposal for a FastCGI talk. (I have.) There is a lot to cover potentially, and an attempt to coordinate coverage might rightfully result in two approved talks (subject to available slots and other proposals). But people are busy and talk submission is mostly a shot in the dark. I've thought about AC2014 FastCGI coverage requirements in terms of deltas from one I gave a few years ago ( http://people.apache.org/~trawick/AC2010-FastCGI.pdf). (off the top of my head) * definitely need to keep coverage of fcgid config challenges * mod_proxy_fcgi needs detailed coverage (proxy config and best practices for process management) * implications of latest PHP FastCGI implementation * deploying apps that are written to higher level programming interfaces (e.g., WSGI) -- when/how to use FastCGI vs. other mechanisms (examples of these higher level interfaces in different dynamic languages and some deployment possibilities are covered at http://people.apache.org/~trawick/AC2012EU-Apps.pdf) * a couple of small tangents -- not much time, but just to provide exposure ** mod_authnz_fcgi - as motivation, provide an interesting example for using this to move complex aaa out of httpd processes (yea!) ** mod_fastcgi - actually works with 2.4 but you need to know where to find the big patch that handles most 2.4 stuff + a few smaller patches that improve 2.4 compat and fix some other aggravations I could easily see a broad coverage talk that goes no deeper than basic configuration and one that covers proxy_fcgi and fcgid issues and configuration in a fair amount of detail.
