Well said, Chris! Folks, here's a great opportunity for someone to step up and make a big-time difference in Zope land. For those of you that can write C, doing an Apache module shouldn't be more than an exercise in diligence. The Apache module API is pretty well documented and there are a good number of examples. The PCGI part of the equation is so very, very small that, were someone to get comfortable with the Apache API, this project would be straightforward to say the least. On the other hand, it's positive impact would be gargantuan. A huge amount of Zope frustration comes from things that deal with Apache integration, *particularly* process activation. I view the usability win to be at least as high as the performance win. I hate to beg, but...PLEEEEEEAAASE! --Paul
