Early next week, then? Monday?

I was gone this weekend and am struggling to get back my mail queue...
ugh. I don't know what's going to happen when I go on my two week
honeymoon in September...

Anyways, when we release, it might be nice to run a search of sites out
there, locate all Apache-using hosts, and notify webmaster@host (or root@host
maybe?) about the new release. Maybe we can hit all those using pre-1.4 NCSA
too :)

Nope, we just told them to "look to the skies", er, I mean "watch the
www-server newsgroups". I think that's sufficient - maybe make an
announcement there and then do the server-version-probing a few weeks
later...

Thats about 250 sites out of the 10500 I hit. For comparison,

NetScape/NetSite: 350
CERN: 1900
CMSHTTPD: 20 (yeah, these are IBM mainframes)
GN: 110
HTTPS: 230
MacHTTP: 350
WN: 30
WebSTAR: 160
WinHttpd: 65
NCSA 1.3: 4200
NCSA 1.4: 1500

Unfortunetly, in my attempt to crawl last week, I had some fun. Something
about a drive filling up and my crawler hitting the same sight 500 times
in 2 minutes (to things explicitly disallowed in robots.txt, of all things)
I'm still trying to fix everything wrong that showed up in that failure.

Enjoy

(No, I'm not likely to give you the list of people running 1.3 . . .
do you want the names of the 66 sites still running 1.0? how about the
401 still running 1.1?)

If it's usable and stable by then, why not.

Er... do you want a few pointers?

Ok, it's easy. But... we're still talking about a beta here. Anyone
using late 1.3 early 1.4 NCSA gear is expecting the software to be stable
in terms of releases to follow. We don't want to have to mail them all
again when the thing mutates 2 weeks from now ;)

I think it's best to be out of the beta-test fog before people start junk
mailing somewhere.com.

People running Apache x.x.x are a different matter. They'd seem to
be up for just about anything, and might even welcome being kept aware
of new releases and other snippets of info. Do we have a new-httpd-announce
list yet that they can subscribe to? [no, I NEVER read the documentation]

Mmm, I'm gunna shut up on this subject (Who's using Apache) for a week or so
while I get a better report written up. More later.
