Beg to differ :) If the cgi engine had been open - several years back I would have a crack at creating an Apache module. I had quite some difficulties talking sys admins into installing Metacard or Rev engines - so apart from the speed improvements - there was the trust and security factors - no amount of Scott Raney talking to people to the sys admins direct really reassured them - they simply did not trust closed source wierd stuff from a security point of view. I'd think there would be a number of possible routes that people would take up if the CGI engine was open - there is the fastcgi / lightHTTP thing and some nice fast HTTP servers written in C that could be looked at for Web application serving. Right now - its not on the cards for me - but a few years back the developers I new would have put a few months into that - open source style only. But then on the other hand I can't find two more volunteers to do some
pretty lightweight scripting on the MC IDE, so maybe not. ;)
I'd love to - though as I'm exploring the dual license possibilities I'm not sure how to mix it in with GPL code - any ideas? _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
