That's strange.  Glad you got it working though.

Check the Apache documentation to see if AddHandler is valid inside a
<Directory> </Directory> block.  You'll also have to wait for 1.1.0 for
the fixes to get freeside to run anywhere in the directory tree (should be
out soon).

Documentation is one area where I could use the most help.  It would be
great if someone (or somemany) could take over maintenance of the
documentation, taking the current (half-finished) HTML stuff, various
answers to FAQs that are starting to pop up on the mailing list, and
whatever indecipherable ramblings I come up with and merge them into a
somewhat coherent whole.  This would free up more of my Copious Free Time
to work on the actual software. 

Other than that, you may want to look over the TODO and see if anything
catches your interest.
