Re: Suggestions for a small menu-driven system? Bill Welliver <hww3[at]riverweb[dot]com> 19-08-2009
Yes, my reasons for using an older version of Caudium were 3 fold: 1) 
newer versions of Caudium were still in development, and 2) packages were 
already available and 3) i figured that older == leaner == less strain on 
a constrained environment.

Because change on the caudium side of things is slower, I think we'd still 
support older versions with bug fixes, etc.

I didn't suggest that as I figured you'd already consdidered that 
alternative. You might also briefly consider fins, which uses 
Protocols.HTTP.Server to provide an alternative MVC app server 
environment ala Rails.
