Not yet. It is in the plans after Apache 1.3 but still. I have reason to
believe that the WebApp module _is_ the way to go, currently, but
apparently, I'm alone (apart from a couple of guys who are using it and
sending back a ton of bug reports).

If it was for me... Not less than two months. I have just two hands and 24
hours/day.... Also, I don't know NSAPI at all, so, first of all, I need to
be a good scholar and put down my head on some books.

If you want to volunteer, that would be AWESOME. Most of the work has been
done already in the Apache version, or better, in the WebApp library. So,
the only thing left to do is an adaptor between the NSAPI interface, and the
WebApp library interfaces... Basically, copying stuff around. The
mod_webapp.c module, per se, is pretty skinny.
