Funny thing about the Navi/GNN/AOLserver/AOlpress combo, it is still cutting edge. It was well designed, but it just was never understood. Well ahead of it's time. AOLpress could not keep up with the IE/Navigator featuritis 1) Transparent Web page Editing: the server is the filesystem. No composer. Used POST/PUT to create web pages, with aliases to BROWSE directories using GET, and kept a site overview. 2) Site overview/Link updating: rename a page, links to that page update on all pages on the site (if you let it).3) multithreaded 4) server side scripting: highly configurable 5) database integrated
The problem was AOLpress was a bit slow, and clunky, and web servers/page editing tools never adopted the net is the file system additude.
