Janine and Jon,
I too have inquired as to the status of OpenNSD on a number of occassions over the past year or so and there seems to have been a complete lack of any interest in moving this project forward. I feel that as good as AOLserver is, there is still a great stigma with having the letters A-O-L attached to your webserver of choice.
I for one would love to see the OpenNSD project go forward so that a great technology would have the chance to see the light of day against those who are too closed minded to get past the stigma.
I've done some work to keep the Solid database driver up to date as we use it here at my place of employment and I've never gotten any response out of any of the AOL folks with regards to patches I've submitted to them, and last I knew they had dropped support for Solid altogether. I would like to keep that driver maintained against an OpenNSD webserver base personally.
