[Stefano Bagnara <ap...@bago.org>]

I extracted things related to VHosting from the roadmap thread, and my 
only reply is at the end of this message.

I would ask you one important thing: as you talk english better than me 
and you know Noel much more than me try to discuss the vhosting issue 
with Noel and let's see if both of you can at least agree on a common 
roadmap on this issue. Once you have this we can then see if this 
roadmap is acceptable to me and Norman (as we are the one that put their 
hands in the code until now on this issue).

I just have too much problems understanding and accepting Noel replies 
to all of my message, so if you feel you can contribute on this I would 
be happy.

Stefano

Sorry, I started *another* thread on this issue. I think I understand
Noel's position, it is similar to mine. No doubt he can disagree with
me if he wants to.
