[OT][ANNOUNCEMENT]Announcing first public release of Open Application Server

Hello all,

I am very glad to announce first public release of Open Application Server.

This is an application framework built in C++, to make use of existing APIs in
internet
application.

It provides

* A thread based request delivery architecture
* support of request handlers loaded from external libraries
* Support of additional application API such as http, SMTP etc.

The features:

* Written in C++
* mutlithreaded application
* High performance and scalable
* Provides object-packing technology
* Native interface with apache to act as web application server

The project is available from http://oasserver.sourceforge.net. The mailing
list is not active as yet
but it should be up in short time(by tomorrow hopefully).

A complete web application built with OAS+postgresql+apache is also available
from CVS. This is a issue
tracking and resource booking system.

There are no packages/tarballs available right now. Please use anonymous cvs.
I plan to relase packages
in short time.

The CVS modules are oasserver and phd respectively.

This is done so that I can update install documentation to cater for variety
of build platforms. Right now,
I can test the build only on slackware/mandrake/freeBSD.
