My intention was not to argue the philosophy of
software design.
I would like to see aolserver used more because I
think it's great for alot of stuff... but, I know
many people who aren't interested in losing time,
energy, and brain cells trying to figure out
aolserver's way of doing things.
Maybe you guys are geniuses -- I'm not. That doesn't
mean I should be exiled to the land of Visual Basic or
jsp.
It would just be cool to have a better resource for
aolserver knowledge -- preferably compiled by those
who know it best.
Hell -- maybe I'll do it anyway... I don't reckon
I'll be using another webserver anytime soon (unless
zope gets its shit together).
