As a current heavy user of OpenACS and the AOLServer web server, it would be
great to be able to have a builtin scheme to a multithreaded webserver.

OpenACS is really great but lacks some of the debugging support that would
make my job easier.  Being able to test/develop/release on my Mac would also
be very nice.

You could easily have a rudimentary GUI that would have a "quickstart"
button that would get people going right away.

Everyone can use the Web, and everyone wants to, if possible.
