Absolutely - that's more along the the line I hoped for.

I'd love to - but Ax1 is becomming more and more of a problem as it
requires Apache 1.x.

Newer Linux distributions only includes Apache 2.x, and requiring an
average user to build Apache and mod_perl by hand is much too much ;-)
It's acceptable when it's included with the distribution and can be
installed with a few mouseclicks, but by hand? No way...

It's also difficult to explain to potential customers why a brand new
product is built on top of such ancient software :-(

I absolutely second that!

When I get some more time I'll volunteer to write some docs myself;
right now I have a deadline of October 1st to demonstrate as much VDMS
as possible - and it will be running on top of AxKit2.

Lars
