[Zope-dev] ZPublisher/ZServer interaction (was Re: A modest proposal)

I don't know, there were quite a lot of ideas brought up.  It started 
with a discussion of Twisted being swappable for Medusa.  Since Itamar 
is a developer of Twisted, he should champion that effort (he knows a 
lot more Zope than any of us know Twisted).

There was also a discussion about replacing Medusa by embedding in 
Apache. While Michel said we had thought about it, that's about the 
extent: we've thought about it.  It isn't even scheduled for further 
thinking at this point.

I think the best thing is for some people that care deeply about this to 
go off and prototype a little bit and see what's involved.
