The comments by Peter Roelhofsen (floris_v on the forum) on the wiki page cited above in general express the overall view of forum volunteers, I think; we mostly feel that trying to impose the existing Apache structure on the forms is overkill and may stifle it. I recommend that the comments on the wiki page be carefully read; note that the forum is willing to modify its structures to fit in with Apache, but there does not seem to be a similar flexibility on the Apache side. The forum downtime (which I hope is being worked upon) does not help us move towards a decision. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie>
