-<p>Stas's work on the mod_perl Guide (now integrated into the
-documentation) gave birth to a <i>great</i> piece of documentation,
-recommended to all aspiring mod_perl programmers. He has also
-contributed a great deal to the mod_perl documentation and was the
-project leader for the creation of this site.
+<p>Stas has started contributing to mod_perl in 1998 by creating the mini
+mod_perl guide, simply to reduce the rate of broken record questions
+on the mod_perl list. After a few years, some people still referred to
+the guide as mini, while it contained more than 600 pages at that
+time. As of today more than 200 users and developers helped Stas to
+write, review, improve and polish the guide.
+
+</p>
+<p>While not working on the documentation, at the remaining spare time,
+Stas has written a few Apache modules available from <a
+href="http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=author&query=Stas+Bekman">his
+CPAN directory</a> and did some work on mod_perl 1.0 series.
+
+</p>
+<p>In autumn 2001 <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com">Ticket Master</a>
+has kindly sponsored Stas for one year to help with mod_perl. Stas
+used this time to help with the development of mod_perl 2.0, to lead
+the creation of the new perl.apache.org site, to advocate mod_perl via
+articles in popular online zines and conferences, to help with the
+mod_perl list and as usual to write a lot of documentation, mainly for
+mod_perl 2.0.

-<p>On the coding side, Stas has written the
-<code>Apache::VMonitor</code>, <code>Apache::GTopLimit</code> and
-<code>Apache::Watchdog::RunAway</code> modules. He has contributed a
-great deal of work to mod_perl 1.x, and is now also working on
-mod_perl 2, most notably the <code>ModPerl::Registry</code> family.

+mod_perl</a> with Eric Cholet, to be published soon by O'Reilly and

+<p>And of course, since 1998, when Stas discovered for himself mod_perl,
+he was finding ways to use it at work, even while doing x86 hardware
+development and verification at Intel. He is now thinking about
+mod_perl 3.0's architecture, hopefully to be implemented solely with
+AND and OR gates, driven by the Perl 6.0 chipset for the best
+performance. Don't be surprised when you get offered a shiny Bluetooth
+mod_perl 3.0 PCI card when you shop for your new server machine.
