To test the appeal of the mailinglist versus your blog I am also
posting this comment/tip to the blog! :-)

You write:
"I'm aware that Wt comes with it's own web server but I don't think
this is production strength.".

Since I hope you will have a good experience with Wt, I would still
recommend you to develop your application using the built-in httpd.
FastCGI is much harder to configure, more inconvenient to deploy
applications, and makes it harder to debug applications, compared to
the built-in httpd.

You could use the built-in httpd for development and the FastCGI
connector for deployment, if you prefer. It does not even require
recompilation: simply link against one of the two libraries.

With respect to "production use", we have a very good experience with
the combination of apache as reverse proxying frontend and wthttpd for
Wt applications. Deployment of the homepage and examples uses this
method, and they often get a nice beating of the Internet which the
setup handles without a glitch. Although FastCGI has the benefit that
deployment using multiple processes is easier, this is also possible
using the built-in httpd with the --session-id-prefix.

I any case, I wish you a lot of adventurous fun!

Regards,
koen
