Hi Abrantes,
I don't think at all that is a stupid question - in fact, it's a very good question! Although there has not been a release of AOLserver in a while, the mailing list is still active with regular questions and discussions. You can subscribe to it here with any questions you may have:
http://aolserver.sourceforge.net/lists/
It does appear that aolserver.com is down at the moment, but I don't know why.
hope this helps
Brian
