Any news on the 2004 release of the mod_aspdotnet? Do you have an msi build of it you could send me. I only have VS 2005 so I can't build it from source myself.
Cheers

Simply stay tuned for 'what's next' - I should have news before the end
of July for you, and will announce here.
In short, a number of developers and powerusers tested the potential build
2004 release of mod_aspdotnet, but not enough httpd project committee folks
were either willing or able to cast a vote to release the software.
The committee had determined months ago that if there was not enough oversight
the httpd project would 'dump' the module. The one released version will
remain at archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/ (nothing ever truly 'disappears' at
the asf), but at this point, it doesn't appear that the foundation has the
oversight necessary to support this sort of windows-specific module.
The biggest problem is that - normally - in the ASF we must have three of
the committee members vote for a release to become an ASF release (plus more
plusses than minuses, of course). Normally - some of the code contributors
would become committee members once they had distinguished themselves for
consistency in offering patches, feedback to fellow users or even documentation
contributions. Since 'it just worked' none of our (valued!) contributors ever
hit the threshold of 'sustained contributions'.
So it's likely to find a new home, and I have put off notifying [EMAIL PROTECTED]
until I've identified an appropriate home and context for my ongoing work on
this module. As I say, keep your eyes peeled for a week.
Yours,
Bill
