As for the AOL-ness of AOLserver, which some have pointed out as a stigma for adoption of AOLserver, I talked to dozens and dozens of people about OpenACS and AOLserver at LinuxWorld.
I didn't get _one_ single "Ewww, AOL? Blergh" sort of comment. What I did get was _one_ "Tcl? Oh my gawd! I'm a perl guy".
What I also got were questions like "Wow, this is great. Can it inter-operate with Apache?", and the occasional "Does it work with MySQL?".
On our "sales pitch" we pitched AOLserver as an application server, not as a web server, which I think is far more accurate, although I usually also noted that AOLserver was also a good web server.
