I haven't posted much to the list so far but have tried to help out
once or twice when I know the answer to a question, and have had
questions of my own.. all of which have been answered. I also started a
Puppet module a while back which I am using in production, it has more
added to it than the one I announced before and needs a bit of polish,
I will try and get it in a nice enough state to show.
Overall, Pound *rocks* it's one of a few peices of Free Software which
truly shine, it does exactly what it's supposed to do and it does it
exceptionally well.
+1 for github

Robert Segall is the maintainer... I haven't heard from him in awhile; I know
his life is very busy. He has put out v2.7b which is the next beta branch.
I maintain a github project with the source code at
http://github.com/goochjj/pound/ Branches of note would be what Andreas posted
from the prior thread, reposted here:
My suggestion to anyone who needs PCI-DSS compliance is to run my branch here:
https://github.com/goochjj/pound/tree/stage_for_upstream/v2.7b
Zip here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/stage_for_upstream/v2.7b.zip
This is based on 2.7b, and includes a bunch of patches that I usually include
in pound, to do things like SNI, CertDir includes, IncludeDir, PCRE redirects,
etc.
If you don't feel comfortable running a 2.7 branch, or don't want to include
those patches, I've rolled a new branch:
https://github.com/goochjj/pound/tree/pcidss/v2.6
Zip here: https://github.com/goochjj/pound/archive/pcidss/v2.6.zip
Which includes only the XSRF, SSLv2, SSL compression and cipher enhancements
against a 2.6 baseline.
My overall goal for Pound is I feel it's a great product that does exactly what
it's designed to do, no less, no more. It's stable and I use it in multiple
production environments for load balancing and SSL termination. Any features
it hasn't been able to do, I've added over the years.
It's also a product I'd like to see in continued use, and so I like to help out
where I can, adding features, applying patches, keeping things secure (i.e. SSL
fixes and such). That's why I maintain my branches... Because I see the merit
and I want to be sure people using pound are covered.
I'd love to see Pound gain more community support... perhaps moving to github
as a primary distro, getting 2.7 polished and out the door and a bunch of
things... Right now Robert's the only one we can make those sorts of
decisions... and there are some bits that aren't available in releases that
would need to be checked in. (things like the autoconf script source) I am by
no means the only contributor and it'd be great to wrap more people around the
project.
As far as support, there are many people on this list who are active with
config/production questions as well as code level support, so this project is
very much alive. :)

Hi Peter,
Welcome to Pound.
I'm sure that Joe will jump in at some stage with more details but we
use Pound ourselves and you can find that the community is quite
active and supportive.
Patches and fixes are normally found being posted to this list which
if you know some basic Unix commands and you don't mind building
Pound
from source yourself you can have quite an efficient and productive
SSL Terminator at your disposal.
If memory serves me correctly Joe does keep a fork somewhere but I
don't know where it is.
However, once again welcome to the group.
