First I wanted to say that I've been following WOLK for quite some time
now, and plan to eventually deploy on some of my production servers. 
You should know, that I certainly appreciate your work, and the work of
all the other active participants.  I'm sure there are others who
silently follow, or make use of, your work that feel the same!

A while back I had rolled a 2.4-WOLK RPM based on Red Hat's kernel RPM. 
As I think someone commented, it was a real pain.  Unfortunately I lost
it in an upgrade (I suspect you know the feeling.)  However, since I
never install anything on my systems that are not packaged as an RPM (I
build a lot of RPM's), I *will* be rolling 2.4-WOLK into an RPM again. 
When I'm finished (can't say when just yet) I'd be more than happy to
contribute it, if you'd like.  For the moment, I'm not planning to move
to 2.6 for a while, so that one may be longer.

As to a web site.  I would love to build this for you.  As someone
mentioned, it would probably go a long way to help communication, and
foster more widespread recognition of WOLK.  Unfortunately, as you know,
other work often gets in the way (the kind that you get a pay check
for!) so I'm hesitant to commit to doing this, because I could not say
when I could get to it (I'm way behind on a project right now.) So if
someone else could get to it quicker, I'd be jealous, but it would be
better for WOLK.  That said, once I dig out from under my current (late)
project, let me think about it and we could discuss further. 

With much appreciation,
-- Carl
