PWS is about to be orphaned from the main releases of Squeak, in favor
of newer web servers like Comanche.
1. Is anyone using/maintaining PWS in newer Squeaks? Does anyone want
to? It shouldn't be much work.
2. Does anyone want PWS to stay in the main release? (Without a
maintainer, the answer will automatically be no).
IMHO, it does not need to be in the standard release, but it would be
great if someone maintained it so that people can download it from
SqueakMap. PWS has few features, but it is wonderfully simple to work
with.
