10 years ago: " Midgard Web Application Server 1.0.0 released"

Mildly ironic how in some respects Times Have NOT Changed:

"Midgard is freely-available platform for creating powerful web applications. It is fully based on Open Source software, giving you freedom to create your solutions in an open environment. Midgard is the tool for creating, modifying and maintaining dynamic database-enabled web services.

Midgard already has a quite good set of features for creating powerful web sites, and is being used with successful results by some commercial and uncommercial organizations. But this is not where the development will end; rather, the development team also has more ambitious goals about revolutionizing the way people think about web development."

This has probably become on ongoing, albeit worthwhile, struggle.
