Notes:
One day, I wrote ogonkify, an internationalisation tool for PostScript output. Ogonkify was eventually integrated into le GNU a2ps and later evolved into Cedilla.
I later took over xfsft from Mark Leisher. Xfsft, which is based on FreeType, became a fully functional TrueType font backend for X11R6, and was eventually integrated into XFree86 as the "freetype" module
I am currently working on Polipo, an HTTP/1.1 web proxy, Babel, a routing protocol for wireless mesh networks, and CPC, a concurrent programming language.
Gabriel Kerneis and myself have just finished compiling some latency statistics for web servers. The results, assuming they are right, are rather surprising.
As we expected, processes are horrible and event-driven code is very good. The surprise is that kernel-threads, while unfair, are not as bad as we expected, and that user-space threads, if implemented right, are actually pretty good.
Did anyone do anything similar?

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
