George, I'm glad to hear of your interest. There isn't much traffic on the discussion group, but I'll be glad to be of assistance. There are a large number of pieces that need improvement. The biggest issue slowing people down is the lack of clear installation instructions and easy to download 'installable' packages. Next would be a better overview of the capabilities along with good samples.
Since the time I first wrote Xang, the servlet specification and servlet engines have changed and the software doesn't have good support for the various brands. I'd like to update the code to work cleanly with Tomcat - the reference implementation of the latest version of the Servlet API specification. In addition, there is an approach I would like to apply to Xang that makes it support different APIs for handling Web requests. By specifying what 'model' the code wants Xang can provide the access methods that are familiar to programmers - for example, specifying 'ASP' versus 'servlet' would let you write script against "Request.Write()" versus "request.getPrintWriter()" - it mostly does the same thing, but the names and parameters are subtly different. This would make it a 'middle-ground' between all the separate server-side 'scripting' environments for Web applications.
