My biggest problem is that I am not much of a c programmer.
I am good at perl, and I would like to re-write a lot of perl_mod
for Python. A few of my friends also would like to help. We need
a variety of people! A good programmer who understand Apache
and PyApache would be helpful.

Zope is cool, but I would like to see Python being used with Apache
in a more basic form.

For example, right now, I have mod_perl, mod_php, and mod_python
compiled into Apache. I would like to see Python have persistent database
connections, OutPut Filters, and SSI just like mod_php and mod_perl have.

I naturally will be using Zope more and more often anyways, but I would like to
see Python excel with Apache without Zope.

I guess, in my perfect world, I would like to use half of my web servers be Zope,
and the other half be Apache with mod_python.

I like options!

Now, I am new to PyApache, so maybe some of this stuff can be implmented
rather easily (persistent database and SSI), I would just need to be pointed
in the right direction so that I  can do it!
