If was on the hook for it, I think I'd also share your concerns.
However, I agree with Robert about thinking hard before turning this one
down.
Since I'm only a cubicle away perhaps you could give me[0] a tutorial.
I'd certainly be very interested anyway and I'll tell you if I'd have
been happy paying for it or not. This might help ascertain if you have
a chance get something ready for ApacheCon or not.

Mark.
