Re: State of ispman?

Hi Yves,

lets face the hard truth.

Despite minor bug fixes there has been no further development for
several months. That's mainly because ISPMan already does a good job
where it fits and (at least for myself) lack of time for coding.
While the overall architecture is nice, the code structure isn't, which
may hold off people invest time and passion into this project.

Looking at alternatives myself, I haven't found an adequate successor
yet, that would follow similar architecture principles with a promising
code base. Suggestions welcome!
I already started a new project myself (java+webservice based) that
picks up where ISPMan ended, but again due to lack of time this has not
advanced far enough to make any suggestions here.

ISPMan as we know it, is certainly a dead end, since no new version will
be released anymore. I'm still committing bugfixes though, that come to
my notice. For existing deployments this may be ok for some time, but I
would not suggest any new installations (unless it fits your purpose
perfectly and you are eager to get your hands dirty with perl).

If anybody found other solutions, please feel free to post and discuss
them here - it won't distract too much from the other ispman-user traffic ;)

Cheers
