Re: splitlogs [question about procedure]

Can someone tell me the procedure for adding new "helper apps" to
apache?  I have an app that I think the apache community might be able
to use, but I have NO idea on the steps and procedures for getting it
done.

thanks

- Chuck

There really isn't any process.  Basically, you post the app here, and people review
it.  If people think it is something we want to add to Apache, then it gets added.

It is important to realize that in general, the Apache group doesn't like to distribute
apps like this.  Our goal is to provide a webserver, not to provide tools to help the
webserver.  We distribute a few small apps to show what is possible, but we tend to
not add new apps to that list.

I would suggest posting the app to a site like freshmeat or modules.apache.org, or something
like that.
