You should definitely try 1.1 again. It works great for me and if there 
are any real issues, please report and I'll be glad to fix them.

Again, I don't think this is a problem with Webware itself. I have my 
Webware 1.1 apps running on many servers for months without restart.

This could really be the problem. You should run it in a separate process.

Don't do that. There have been many bugfixes and improvements in 1.x.

Yes, the adapter needs a running appserver. This has also advantages, 
because it decouples your WSGI server from the application.

But you're right, it would be nice to have an option to run Webware 
applications without the AppServer, directly wrapped as WSGI, so we 
could make use of existing non-threaded WSGI servers. Actually, I 
discussed these ideas already years ago on this mailing list. However, 
there was not so much feedback and I had not enough time to realize it, 
so these ideas were not realized so far.

So my question to this mailing list would be: How many people are still 
interested in having a modernized Webware version? How backward 
compatible must it be? Would it be ok to change package and method names 
to make them comply with PEP8 or to change getter functions to 
properties or should it be as compatible as possible? Which plugins and 
functionality should still be supported, what can be stripped away 
(personally, I'm using only WebKit)?
