Use cases for httpd?

[Sander Temme <sc...@apache.org>]

Folks, 

Should we have a "how do YOU use Apache" checkpoint with our community to see how our users are actually deploying the server? 

I have a feeling many people just use their distro package, which means our discussions on what ./configure ... does has a different primary audience than we might think. 

We could launch an e-mail discussion, or setup a Survey Monkey (but keep it SHORT!!!) or something like that. 

Thoughts? 

S.

I have a feeling that won't really help with our defaults.  Those who respond will
be a self-selecting sample, and totally biased towards those admins who are
capable of cooking their own configurations.

A multiple-choice list of scenarios might tell us something.  But perhaps better
if it can grow organically, through a potted-configs subproject?
