I can't put 0.6.1 on Cardiff. I don't have enough permissions to do it.
The sys-admin there is just too busy with other things to install 0.6.1
at the moment - it's not lack of confidence - he put the non-forking
patch in on the basis that it can stay in as long as it doesn't break
anything. 

I've also given 0.6.1 to a couple of people to use instead of NCSA 1.3.
They haven't come back with any reports of problems.


But we're still not quite ready w.r.t  online info and documentation.

I just created http://www.apache.org/apache/info.html  out
of             http://www.apache.org/apache/index.html

We need a new index.html, one which looks good and has pointers
to /apache/info.html  and /apache/docs/
