The Comet Maturity Guide is great - it would be nice to have some colored cells there, similar to the Comparison of JavaScript frameworks on wikipedia.

Hey - this is really great. Is there already a server available that can handle PHP? Thanks.

@Steffen, there is some work being done by Zend, and there is also the comep project. Another alternative is using PHP with a server in another language, and using a PHP Comet client to communicate with say a Python-based Comet server.
