Hi Piotr,

Thanks for the patches!  A quick first impression:

* "Don't assume we own the root" - This one's for Brad to review
* "Now it works with MySQL too" - Also for Brad

* "Allow POSTing notes" - This is a big change to make.  Can you
elaborate more on why "Apache chokes on large PUT requests"?  Changing
from PUT to POST violates HTTP principles, but I am fine with doing it
if it is really necessary.  If we do it, we should change all the
way...allow POST *instead of* PUT, not *in addition to* it.  We would
have to update our API page and others who are implementing the API.

* "Make it work with Snowy in subdirectory and with Apache" - The
subdirectory stuff might have to change after we finish working on the
API changes described in the root resource here:

Thanks for your work, hope we can get this all integrated ASAP,
Sandy
