Hi.
Couldn't find any other contact addresses on your site aside from the bug
list, so I'll start here.

I'm one of the co-authors of The Web Server Book (Ventana Press, 1995),
a book which is about to enter its second edition. (It's almost a year
old, so is nearly obsolete... sigh.)  Anyway, the first edition featured
NCSA httpd 1.4, with a full chapter on setup, references throughout to various
features, and the software was included on the CD-ROM (along with a full
Slackware distribution of Linux). I'd like to change the featured software
to Apache, and am writing to informally request your permission to do so.
Formal requests for including the software on our CD-ROM and the publisher's
anonymous FTP site (ftp.vmedia.com) will be made by the publisher, but I
wanted to bounce it off you folks first.

The other reason I'm writing is to ask what version you would prefer to have
featured if you allow us to write about Apache. The first draft of the second
edition will probably need to be in by mid-to-late July,and I don't know
what your release schedule for 1.1.X is.... would you recommend 1.0.5 or
using b3 to write about 1.1 in the hopes that it will be in production by
late summer/early fall (publication date of the book)?

Anyway, thanks for considering this. I'm a devoted user of the software, and
would love to try to give something back by singing its praises in print.

DM

Feel free to ack, stating emphatically that they should use 1.1.
