+Apache 2.0 STATUS:
+Last modified at [$Date: 1999/08/27 18:57:17 $]
+
+Release:
+
+    2.0: In pre-alpha development
+
+Plan:
+
+    * Vague goal of an alpha or beta release in 1999. Commit-then-review
+      is active.
+
+RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
+
+    * CGI doesn't work
+        Status: Ben Laurie is working on this.
+
+    * mod_status doesn't work
+        Status: Manoj Kasichainula <manojk@io.com> is working on this. A
+        patch has been posted that starts to fix this:
+        (<19990825025653.A19065@samosa.mindspring.com> and
+        <19990825022146.A10096@io.com>)
+
+    * suEXEC doesn't work
+        Ben Laurie's work to fix CGIs will also fix this.
+
+    * Windows NT port isn't done
+        Status: Bill is working on this through his MPM work, and Ryan
+        is with APR.
+
+    * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0
+      work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did
+
+        Status: Autoconf and APR will get us most of the way there.
+
+    * The module API is a weird combination of the old table and the new
+      hook system. Switch completely to the new hook system
+        Status: Ben Laurie is working on this.
+
+RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
+
+    (none listed)
+
+Other bugs that need fixing:
+
+    * MaxRequestsPerChild measures connections, not requests.
+    
+    * Regex containers don't work in an intutive way
+        Status: No one has come up with an efficient way to fix this
+        behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
+        completely.
+
+Other features that need writing:
+
+    * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.
+
+    * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
+        Status: Ryan Bloom <rbb@raleigh.ibm.com> is working on this.
+
+    * Finish infrastructure in core for async MPMs
+        Status: ?
+
+    * Work on other MPMs. Possible MPMs discussed or in progress include:
+
+      - David Reid's <abb37@dial.pipex.com> Beos MPM
+          Status: in progress
+
+      - Dean Gaudet's async MPM
+          Status: ?
+
+      - Zach Brown's <zab@zabbo.net> Linux siginfo MPM
+          Status: ?
+
+Documentation that needs writing:
+
+    * The concept of MPMs, especially if we ship more than one MPM for a
+      given platform
+
+    * New directives in the various MPMs
+
+    * API documentation
+        Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
+        (apache-2.0/htdocs/hooks.html)
+
+Available Patches:
+
+   * Mike Abbott's <mja@trudge.engr.sgi.com> patches to improve
+     performance
+       Status: These were written for 1.3, and are awaiting a port to
+       2.0
+
+Open issues:
+
+   * What do we do about mod_proxy?
+
+   * Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
