I have added something to this effect. Just as easy to remove them.
It is also almost as easy to do a 'whois'. I am inclined to leave
the "PLEASE" in the top of the member list, and see how it goes.
Anyone in the group can edit the file if they wish to remove their
address.

It seems to have been even simpler than that --- he left Includes
off the Options lines in access.conf. I'm assuming that was the problem
(it certainly would explain the observed behavior).

In a perverse way, I'm actually hoping that it wasn't this easy (it would
justify the false alarm), but it probably was. Chicken Little, exit stage
left.

I think we are waiting for documentation.

However, I do think we should have a 0.6.2, with some of the existing bugs
fixed, even if they are in features not in NCSA httpd 1.3.

Some things I forgot:

We didn't pick a good size for the nameserver cache. Can we agree a
value for NSCACHE_SIZE in util.c? It's currently set at 100, which was
fine for me, but others suggested it was too small.

The licence on source files which contain no NCSA code (stream.*,
http_mime_db.c) still mentions NCSA, and implies that only sections of
code are (c) Apache.

We have some room at COMMA don't we? There, that's Europe sorted out.

Ay.

I'd have thought 'Geronimo!' more suitable .. *groan*.

Anyway, +1 on going beta, provided someone tells me where all the
"How do I?" mail is going to go?

Ay.

I'm running 0.6.1 locally, it's just a dev site so it's not getting
pounded - not that it would make any difference. I use u+x in preference
to .shtml (or whatever) and the u+x on the #included files works fine
too.

COMMA runs XBITHACK, but only up to 0.5.1 so far.

Ay.

By local I mean:

74> ~/APACHE/apache_0.6.1/src/httpd -v

My e-mail is plastered all over my home-page and all the links from it.
I'm happy.

Ay.

I don't think so... We have a readme file which points to
the correct URL for the window server. If you think it would
be useful, I can look into getting permission to mirror the
Apache server on the NCSA ftp server.

BTW, would anyone have any objections to listing the NCSA httpd
Development team as a member of the Apache project? Or failing that
listing an entry which acknowledges the use of portions of the
NCSA httpd code?

:-) .. why does the thought of NCSA mirroring Apache bring a smile
to me face. hmmm
I took Brandon's suggestion as a joke, but if NCSA did *want* to
mirror Apache, I'd have no problem with that.

..it just sounds so weird.

ok by me.

I've listed you guys on /apache/members/ - seeing as how I've had my
diplomacy fu shot down this week, check it out and let me know if you'd
like it changed or expanded or whatever.

I think we're ready. I'm going to go make the announcement.

I can put it on ftp-hst.ast.cam.ac.uk
or on ftp.ast.cam.ac.uk.
