I think it's a waste of time and effort. The worker MPM has not been
heavily tested, the threaded MPM is not recommended, since most addon
modules (including php) are not thread-safe.
Those are the reasons why only 1% of unix-based Apache servers run 2.0
(latest figures from Netcraft). On Windows, this is different, 1.3 is
not stable while 2.0 with the threaded MPM is the preferred option,
that's why 7% of Windows-based Apache servers run 2.0. But they don't
run additional modules ;-)
Instead, here's what I suggest we do:
- Test all Apache 2.0 modules, fix bugs, improve the config files and
documentation. A lot of modules were not working correctly, there were
segfaults, etc. I tested and corrected a lot of modules, but there's
still work to do.
- Find PHP/Perl/TCL/whatever packages to include in the distro. We
already have horde/imp, oscommerce, php{My|Pg}admin, and others, but
there is other interesting stuff, like SQLedger, PHPHelpDesk, or
interesting stuff you might find on sites such as:
http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/
What I would love to see is a sympa-like mailing list manager, but in
PHP, with archived stuff, etc. I know there's stuff like this at
Mandrake, but it's pretty old stuff, and has been customized heavily.
Something that works out-of-the-box would be nice. We also need some
multi-user free hosting system like Geocities/Tripod, etc. Finally, a
DynDNS-like system would be great too =)
If you think of anything else, let me know!
