Hey, (a few questions)

Can anyone predict when Apache 2 core and standard modules will be stable enough to be used in a production environment??

Also is there any specific Apache 2 mailing lists or web-based resources or forums?

Anyone got any feedback on the Apache 2 Bible??

I believe that according to the Apache people, Apache 2.0 is now ready to be used just about anywhere. I have not used it personally, but I have heard reports of it being fairly stable.

I assume you've already checked all of the info available at: http://httpd.apache.org/ ?

It doesn't support php, gzip and a host of other stuff yet.

Why would you want Apache2 anyway? Since it's new, there are many security reasons why not to use it. The only reason you should be using Apache2 is because some features in the new version is missing from 1.3.x

From PHP 4.2.0 announcement (http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php), it is stated that Apache 2.0 support is still experimental, so it is still not a good idea to use them in production environment.
