NICE! I've got a feeling it will go even higher, as it was only=20
yesterday-ish that The Server Side, Java Channel and JavaWorld included =

us.

Freshmeat still isn't done yet, no word yet about the xfer of the projec=
t=20
from Justin to me.

I will chase it.

Such a peak of activity tends to die off after about 4-5 days in my=20
experience, but as WM is a very useful tool it should continue to spread=
=20
by word of mouth and our daily average downloads should be higher than i=
t=20
was previously.

We'll see.

I'm forming some great ideas for future WM developments... based on the =

"ready to run" web app using WM. I envisage it possibly being called=20=

"WebMacro" and what we currently call "WebMacro" being renamed to=20
something like "WebMacro Library". Call me controversial, but I think=20=

that we can gain a HUGE audience among the kind of sysadmin who would=20=

otherwise use PHP or JSP =96 to the benefit of the WM community as a who=
le=20
I think.

Like I've said before, this general purpose servlet would be gold dust=20=

for me in terms of getting simple little web apps going quickly without =

having to learn and admin another scripting system like PHP. I think if =

packaged well, non-programmers would love it too :)

I will start work on a design soon.
