[Xitami] Xitami/5 - new project announcement

[Russel Olinger]

ha, didn't mean to start an LRWP debate.  I was just curious about it cause I have never used it and don't know much about it.  I do recall Xitami having a bug related LRWP when two instances of Xitami are running on the same box.  Even if you disabled LRWP on the second Xitami it still wouldn't start - I believe you had to disable it and change the default LWRP port before getting the second one to run.

Anyway.  What I am curious about now is with all these requests and features coming in:

A) Where do you draw the line on what Xitami 5 will support?  
B) You have your base list of items that you annouced will be in Xitami 5
      b1: What was the estimated development time for that base list?
      b2: What do you expect the development time will be for the extended feature requests?
C) What do you expect Xitami's footprint to be after its completed?  I think everyone is hoping for a highly kick-ass, flexable, secure, easy to use webserver (like all previous vesions of Xitami) that will still be small, light and 1/100th the size of Apache.
D) When do you begin development and when do you expect to have beta versions for the user community to start banging on?
