I just wanted to respond to a snippet Don Bacchus wrote (that I originally sent to the AOLserver mailing list):

I would love to see Win32 support continue for AOLserver. I don't see why Don says "I can't imagine that being hosted at AOLserver.com" -- at least the AOL folks have said that "we simply can't maintain Win32 support any longer" ... they never said "we no longer want Win32 support for AOLserver."

If the community will work on Win32 support and do it in such a way that it doesn't negatively impact the AOLserver core, I am convinced that the AOL core team will accept the necessary changes to make it happen. I'd volunteer to be the coordinator of the patching effort if that would help.
