RE: Apache Extension for FrontPage

I did suggest it to Ready-to-Run and got the following back after submitting
my suggestion:

Thank you for your suggestion.  Ready-to-Run Software correlates all request
for additional operating systems and web servers and forwards this
information to Microsoft.  Your suggestion will be included in our next
compilation.

It's interesting they just wind up forwarding the request to M$.

Frontpage extensions are a lot more than just publishing content.

There's security management, pluggable web automation, collaborative
development, etc.

I think it would be a find thing for someone to port frontpage extensions to
apache on the 400.  Contact Ready to Run software
(http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/) to see if they can/will do it.
