Next version is gonna be a huge milestone. Cheers everyone!
Of course it's a long long way to the top if we wanna rock'n'roll ;)

That just made me thing of something: we don't have stable nor
development versions right? Just the "latest" (stable?) version
and we (as the little community we are) are very keen this days
to be running beta code (even alpha or less for other guys) in
production environments...

I guess this has been a discussion in the past.. but do we've
had feedback on what other people think of this and how could
it be affecting (or perhaps busting) the adoption of Cherokee?

In other front, I've been trying to put a bit of my brain cycles
to think about what kind of things could hinder in the near
future a large adoption of Cherokee when it gets better known
other  than code maturity, positioning and plain awareness of it's 
existence...

And perhaps a bit of the answer could be the eventual lack of 
some modules and functionality that we might now have at
the point people is really considering switching to Cherokee:

- Some sort of bandwidth usage and bandwidth throttling module
  for hosting  resellers to restrict the amounts and speeds
  of transfers of their customers

- Some sort of virtual host configuration mechanism that doesn't
  require you to restart the server (e.g. plain files or database)

- Some sort of "mod_security" functionality to be able to protect
  potentially buggy applications from well known attacks by filtering
  certain patterns

- Some sort of "mod_header/mod_expires" functionality that some
  Apache users might be relying on in certain applications

Of course, there might be lots of other desirable functionality but
this are the ones I can think of and in fact the results of polling
some of my friends and colleagues using Apache.

I hope not to be distracting Alvaro and others too much but I guess
achieving such cool milestones this days has been some sort of food
for thought for some of us people who want to see Cherokee arrive
to new heights and specially have a killer webserver solution for the
years to come.

Oh! And thanks for adding the image.. I'll try to look for one that
looks even better ;)

Antonio.
