I run the AOLserver Wiki at Panoptic. If there are any problems with it, abuse me.
My blog is at http://dossy.org/ aka Dossy's Blog -- I try to post regularly (at least once a day, minimally once a week) and I often try to post about AOLserver-related matters.
My current AOLserver-related projects are to:
- Ensure we meet all our goals and milestones for the AOLserver Project according to the published 2004 Roadmap.
- Start formalizing the testing/QA procedures and pre-release checklist that will go into every release: How are releases tested?
- nssic -- the Server Inter-Connect module
The following items are old and need to be updated:
- Stress-test and release version 0.6 of nsmysql (an internal database driver for MySQL)
- Write a configuration tool which will manage and generate nsd.tcl files
- Work on the AOLserver Packages - Binary distribution of AOLserver in the many popular package mangement formats like RedHat's RPM, Debian's .deb, FreeBSD's ports, Solaris's .pkg
- Write a server-side session management module, nssession
- Clean up version 0.1pre of nsfreetds (an internal database driver that connects to Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase using FreeTDS 0.51)

Just saving a funny joke that's really relevant to the work I do: see if it happens again.
My current scratch pad or whiteboard contents:
Current idiom:
set lock [ns_mutex create lock]
ns_mutex lock $lock
catch {
# synchronized code here
}
ns_mutex unlock $lock
Proposed change:
set lock [ns_mutex create lock] ns_mutex eval $lock $script
