I've started a web browser project I'm calling "Wink" to get the public to use WebKit on Windows, and I'm collecting crash reports with stack traces to allow me to locate and fix common crashes.

Hi Alex,
I suggest you consider switching over to node.js. And then you don't have to waste
time with php. With node.js, you can do all your server side scripting with javascript.
And any critical code can be written in c++ and linked directly into node.js in a
number of ways. That is very efficient, because you'll be working with javascript and
c++ anyway.

Just a suggestion. One thing is node.js is nascent technology, so you want to be extra
careful about security. There are ways to mitigate those issues, if you think about it.

enjoy,
Karen
