not sure if it is part of file layout area or not, but I noticed a few 
things we could add automatically on disk to ease the developer 
experience (based on the coolstack content):
1/ a favicon.gif file in htdocs of apache to avoid useless entries of 
404 or file not found in the logs. OpenSolaris logo?
2/ a better index.html (and maybe more files for samples) to describes 
'what' works when 'it works'.
3/ a description of the smf apache service in services.
4/ for the 'user' created via sxde installation process (build 70), 
other than root, rbac settings to operate apache
5/ for this 'user' (I call him Mister D, the D in sxDe), a default 
public_html directory in in home directory with good initial content.

I am in the middle of writing a document regarding what this Mister D 
will need (sxde installation changes, visual panels changes, user/group 
default definitions changes, user privileges changes, etc...), but this 
is what I remember for the apache area.

Also, I've seen a few threads regarding the web-stack 'optimal' 
performance and flag settings, but I thing we need to discuss how we set 
these flags and options with 2 point of views:
1/ the Developer (our SAMP target I think):
  - no real need for added performance tuning
  - for example, saving a php file, and page reload on the browser must 
work  without restarting apache:)
  - log managment (on, of, rotation, view,...)
2/ the Deployer of an AMP app
 - management flags
 - optimal Solaris performance.
How do we balance these 2 conflicting roles in SXDE? Comments welcome,

Thanks,
Ludo
