Good question. I think we're going to release a 0.6 instead. This is mostly 
due to the lack of a fully automated regression test suite for the app 
server, which I think is essential for claiming 1.0. Having said that, in 
the past we have been able to stabilize the app server pretty good for each 
release by manually flogging it.

* I do all my consulting with Webware and make a healthy living.

* One of my clients is successfully reselling, or rather renting, a content 
management system built on top of Webware.

* http://www.vorbis.com/ is a Webware site.

* There are several intranet Webware sites, but they are private to their 
respective companies.

MS SQL. No Postgres yet, although someone could presumably implement it. I 
haven't because I use MySQL so my motivation is low. On the plus side, MK 
has a great regression test suite, so you would know if your results worked.
