WR: What’s next for mod_gzip? Caching? I see you’ve already made some
fixes, any popular requests?

PC: Our biggest focus at the moment is responding to the many inquires
regarding installation on different platforms. Since our release on
Friday we already have made several improvements to the code, added
support for other platforms (FreeBSD, Solaris) and one of our users
Tomaz Borstnar has already started a mailing list for us at the
following link:

It’s compressed of course. We will also add a mirrored site in the US.

Compression is needed on the Web. People really want something which
makes things go faster. As some once said, you can’t stop an idea
whose time has come, it’s now time for compression on the Internet.

WR: Peter, thanks for your time.
