I agree totally with Andreas. I understand that QGIS server needs a deep 
refactoring and that we need to keep all that makes
it the winning solution other servers can't bring being separate from the 
desktop application, without breaking webclients
one hand, or without blocking QGIS desktop API refactoring on the other hand. 

Count on me for participating in helping testing, discuss specification and 
coordinate work if needed. 
Cheers
