I would have started actively and frequently committing code to the
AOLserver CVS, as Dossy explicitly asked/challenged you to do, rather
than merely talking about doing so.

Look, Zoran, I know that's not your personal style, but as far as I
could tell you basically won your last public argument with Dossy, and
he must have known it.  He more or less threw up his hands and said,
'Ok, just start committing code, we'll work it out from there.'  And
then you walked away!

If I recall correctly, Zoran had (and still has) CVS commit to
AOLserver, but used it only rarely.  Vlad had it too.  Stephen Deasy
never even asked for commit, which is a huge shame, as from his
explanations on the AOLserver list, he seems to be a real AOLserver
expert with a deep understanding of the code.

Ideally, I would like to see Zoran, Stephen, and Vlad all actively
collaborating with Jim Davidson and the other folks working on
AOLserver, on a single codebase.  Failing that, I would have liked to
see the three of them SOUNDLY and IRREFUTABLY demonstrate that a fork
was in fact necessary.

IMNSHO that was not done, and thus the NaviServer fork was
unjustified.  Oh well, I guess it's all largely irrelevant now...
