I'm curious why the content server in Calibre was not built to support a standard modern contemplating system to allow for easy replacement? I would have though that would attract good web devs. Twig, or the python equivalent.
Running a separate server is much more of a pain. I am aware of the various replacement projects but I just can't see why Calibre itself, given it was clearly being re-built in this area, would not have been updated to a more modern approach?

Curious - can you give me a link to and example of such a thing. Maybe something to do with artificial intelligence.
FWIW : On Windows I've run the old server alongside the new library manager e.g calibre-server.exe from 32 bit install of version 2.xx alongside calibre.exe from 64 bit install of version 3.xx. Of course, should anything go awry I wouldn't expect any support.
Aaah - I twigged as what
a standard modern contemplating system might be; are sure that shouldn't be
a [. . .] co-templating [. . .].
Perhaps it results from a contretemps with one the so-called spelling correctors, rather than a novel interpretation of
contemplor, contemplari, contemplatus
