---- key quote from the above discussion ----
We asked how to collaborate with them.
Their replied as following: "It's interesting what you guys do and let's keep in touch. I'm not really quite sure right away in regards to what can be imported to the main branch, but hopefully we'll find things to collaborate on. We're a bit busy towards the end of the year, so probably a good idea to catch up in January."
More than two months have passed. We are still waiting for their requests. We are very confused ...

Seems reasonable to me. These people are running one of the largest websites out there, the project is open source, they seem to have put a reasonable effort into merging the changes back in, they were ignored. They could have just kept the changes internally but they decided to share. Good for them!

key selling point: dynamic module loading support (" You don't have to recompile Tengine when you want to add a new module")
How does this differ from OpenResty? They seem very similar. Both are based on Nginx, come from Alibaba, offer Lua scripting. So what's the difference?
OpenResty seems to be a bundle of nginx add-ons, while Tengine is a fork. Also, tengine has DSO loading.
and would scripts written for openresty work for tengine?
From the page (All features of Nginx-1.2.9 are inherited, i.e. it is 100% compatible with Nginx.)
My guess would be if the scripts are compatible with Ngingx-1.2.9 it should work.

Yeah, it looks like 1.2.9 with a bunch of additional modules! I like the sysguard module.
+1 "Documentation isn't a bloody annoying zoom-in/out single page wiki insanity"
Wow. I hadn't seen OpenResty before, but I don't think I could bear to fight through that website to get to information.
Very interesting. First Chinese OS project i see posted here.
Interesting, I've been working on a nginx buildpack for Heroku/Dokku/Flynn optimized for static sites. I should create a Tengine fork to benchmark with nginx.

So, they're basically adding the features from Apache ...
Seems pretty interesting. It seems like several clever hacks (module injections, LUA support, combining css/js...) packaged into a soft.
(I see a correlation of the reason with the recent news on ngingx plus, but that can be only mind tricks)
