Tenginx was not a community project. It's a commercial project for www.taobao.com, which ranks 13th global according to Alexa (higher than ebay, lower than amazon) So when the company has some custom feature, it can't wait for the original project to accept and update. Tenginx going open source because we got tons of help from the community, not only Nginx project. And it's an honor to contribute. Other open sourced projects include TFS(file system)/Tair(distrbuted cluster)/Webx(web framwork), all currently running on taobao.com. You can check them out at http://code.taobao.org/ http://code.taobao.org/ . Most docs were in Chinese tho... Currently the feature list on Tenginx might be limited, but who knows what would happen...Google forked WebKit into Chrome, that's nothing to do with feature list in the beginning.
