Thanks. Spread the word, I would say :^)

For the 1.0 release we still need to add a simple sample database in
the examples section, perhaps with a nice php/ajax page to
view/insert/delete records from a single sample table, focusing on
slick looks. Eye candy sells.

Who wants to help with this?

I does not -- at least I think it doesn't

The webserver is threaded, but talks to php running in a separate
process. Communications are by way of fastcgi ("php -b"). The php
fastcgi server process is single threaded, afaik. If the php process
dies or becomes unresponsive, the webserver simply kills it and
restarts a new php fastcgi server process.
