Good question. In about six months I expect AOLserver and all of the modules to be fully tested, documented and clean. At that point, it will be hard to argue with using AOLserver for any kind of IT project from a technical or maintenance standpoint. It is the other arguments we will have to overcome, such as, "Tcl? I thought that was obsolete" and "Isn't everything going Java and J2EE?"
On the popularization front I want to have a self-installing distribution of AOLserver that will lower the bar to getting a copy of AOLserver running with a few simple, live applications. We make it easy for newcomers to run the server and see what it can do without having to wade through discussion groups and docs trying to figure out how to get something running themselves. I also plan to write a series of articles for magazines, update my website, and run naked through the streets if necessary. /s. -----Original Message----- From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:AOLSERVER@;LISTSERV.AOL.COM] On Behalf Of Steve Manning Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 4:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] AOLserver Project Update Congratulations on this move to include the community and setup the core team. I feel it gives a very positive vibe for the future of AOLServer. I just wondering if this new push includes any plans to promote AOLServer amongst the IT public at large. Its difficult to promote AOLServer as a solution to a requirement when the response is 'AOL what?'. Just about everyone has heard of Apache - how can we achieve the same notoriety?
