I'd be willing to spend some time after we file the presentation on flood for OSCon on the 10th (damn, that's soon). Assuming of course that httpd is in decent shape, which it isn't right now. My priority is probably to get httpd in decent shape so that we don't have to rethink things until 2.1 is open (whenever the heck that might be). So, when I'm satisfied httpd-2.0 won't blow up on itself, I can spend time on serf. Ideally, lessons learned here in serf can drive any changes in httpd-2.1. It seems that input side of things in httpd-2.0 has largely been ignored - something that absolutely can't be ignored for a client library like the mythical serf. However, the biggest problem, IMHO, is the level of abstraction we want to have in serf. I know Aaron and I have talked about it, but I'm not sure that anyone came to an agreement here. I also know that Aaron has widly different views about the abstraction of things versus what is in httpd-2.0. So, that may be worth discussing first (I'm not terribly sure if he's written up email on this)... For starters, do we use the buckets and brigades from apr-util? > Where do we draw the line between kitchen sink and a "must have"? I'd say whatever is necessary to support a flood and SVN is a "must have." -- justin
