Hi to all I'm concernd about the mod_aspnet project.
We use it a lot, even in production environments. But I know nothing about HTTP server programming, a know ASP.NET. How could we contribute to the project. We Test it, we use it, but we hardly can do anything more. So my question is: How people that just use the mod_aspnet module can contribute or vote, to make the mod_aspnet project continue?
