	See <Pi...@twinlark.arctic.org>
	for a more up-to-date idea (int vformatter) that has a
	vote of +1 from Dean, Ben, Martin, Paul and Jim for concept

Concepts:

   * Jim's [CONCEPT] platform.h header file. Instead of lumping
     all OS stuff in conf.h, create a ./platforms/ sub-dir
     and have Configure copy and modify platform.h as needed.
	<19...@devsys.jaguNET.com>

In progress:

    * Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components 
      This has "evolved" into a new module: util_uri. Martin
      will post when it's at a state where he's happy with it.
      Ken would like to see it in libap instead of libmain.

    * Ben's ASP work... All agree it sounds cool.

    * DDA's adding a tray application to the Windoze version for ease of
      status/management.
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	Status: Ken +1, Sameer +1, Martin +1, Ben +1 (as long as
	we get a single executable)
	Paul: No like Win95 specific stuff
	Ken: What's W95-specific about it?

Needs patch:

    * Dean's "locale" project
	See <Pi...@twinlark.arctic.org>
	Status: Jim'll look into it

Closed issues:

    * Removal of inetd mode
	Ken says he'll try to maintain it, since there are
	people/places who need it

Open issues:

    * Paul would like to see a 'gdbm' option because he uses
      it a lot. Dean notes that 'gdbm' include 'db' support
      so we need to watch the library ordering.

	Dean notes:  Check rev 1.72 -> rev 1.73 of
	src/Configuration.tmpl.  I re-ordered mod_auth_dbm and
	mod_auth_db at this time, and I'm pretty sure it was to
	deal with this issue.  But I think I still ran into
	troubles if I automatically looked for gdbm.

    * What do we call the binary: apache or httpd? Under UNIX
      it's httpd, under Win32 it's apache. Maybe rename it
      to apache-httpd?
	apache-httpd: Ken +1

    * Maybe a http_paths.h file? See
	<Pi...@valis.worldgate.com>

    * Release builds: Should we provide Configuration or not?
      Should we 'make all suexec' in src/support?
	Ken +1 (possible suexec path issue, though)

    * root's environment is inherited by the Apache server. Jim, Ken &
      Dean thinks we should recommend using 'env' to build the
      appropriate environment. Marc and Alexei don't see any
      big deal.

    * Ken suggests that new check_cmd_context() and related defines
      should be non-static and in util_* so modules can use 'em.  (He
      didn't notice this flaw during the review.)

    * Sameer's mod_so implemetation
	See <19...@gabber.c2.net>
	Issues: Underscores: Should I try prepending, appending, and
	 ignoring? -> Alexei says look at Java
	 Location? os/unix ??

    * 206 vs. 200 issue on Content-Length
	See <Pi...@valis.worldgate.com>
	Roy says current behavior is correct, but Alexei disagrees.
	Marc sides with Alexei.

    * Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
	Marc, Dean, Martin say Yes

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info
	<Pi...@alive.znep.com>

    * Ken's PR#1053: an error when accessing a negotiated document
      explicitly names the variant selected.  Should it do so, or should
      the base input name be referenced?
