A nice thing would be that someone with good CGI knowledge
and competences could right a short tutorial (with clear DOs and
DON'Ts) about using Rev CGI and how to configure a server
(privileges settings, etc) in that context.
This could be put online on the Developers web page at RR.

I'm sure lots of users would benefit from that. So far only bits &
pieces of info can be found on the MC or Rev lists archives.
If I had the knowledge, I'd gladly write such a tutorial...

Thanks,
