I haven't released the source yet because it's not ready for prime time.
I will release the source under GPL when I feel it's ready. (part of my
hesitation has to do with CGI security concerns).
Actually, if someone who knows C and has a real fast server (CPU, not
bandwidth) wants to take over the project, I'd love to hand it off.
I really don't have the time to develop it right now.

| (...) That was what I suspected. I simply wanted to play around a bit with the idea, just for the fun of it. I don't have any computer hooked up to the net which is powerful enough to do this on a large scale, so I can't take over the project. (...)
