David,

I still say you should release the web server code as a product itself :)

Or even the portability layer you've developed.

I know probably a pain to manage on top of the other products...

On another note. I'm still working (albeit slowly) on a release of Seaside
for Dolphin. STS is helping me with the porting issues. I still don't have
it working yet though. I'm hoping that I can get Seaside to a point where
development work can be done in Dolphin, and either deployed directly in
Dolphin,or filed out, and directly imported into Squeak, as a multi-platform
target environment. Best of both worlds.

I keep hoping that D6 will come out now because as far as I understand some
changes have been made to the VM to better handle continuations (which is
available in D5, but gets quite ugly behind the scenes). Aside from all the
other modifications that have been made since D5 was released oh so long
ago.
