Re: [DISCUSS] The future of mod_perl

All,

I would certainly hate to see mod_perl no longer being maintained. I use 
it as a front-end for a library cataloging system that is very much 
alive, in-use and updated with recent HTML, CSS and JavaScript features. 
Rewriting this front-end in some other language would be a huge 
undertaking and would not provide much benefit because Apache + Perl + 
mod_perl not only do the job but do it extremely well.

While I don't understand what type of time commitment would be required, 
I would be happy to add my name to the bottom of any list should others 
have a strong desire to hold such a position.

Best,

Geoff Mottram
