As Dan stated - it's somehow strategic product, just not on a priority
list right now. ...
As for it's connectivity - it was my complaint from the day of Apache
beta 1 - nice module with no DB connectivity is to those having
capabilities of PHP connectivity, well, for nothing (although Elan is
right that text databases are sometimes sufficient).
I suggeste RT to add at least library module to Apache and charge some
50 or so USD, as Jeff already showed us how to make php library wrapper.
It is still better than having free Apache module with no DB
connectivity .... Maybe Apache module could be based upon whole Command
product?
