Hi Joerg, Hello All,

I also started a php based version called isp-director but also havent
finished because of lack of time from my job and kids.

The only changes that must warrant a new release is rewrite with new code
and a different layout but the features are already there that are needed.

Hi Yves,<br>
<br>
lets face the hard truth.<br>
<br>
Despite minor bug fixes there has been no further development for<br>
several months. That&#39;s mainly because ISPMan already does a good job<br=
>
where it fits and (at least for myself) lack of time for coding.<br>
While the overall architecture is nice, the code structure isn&#39;t, which=
<br>
may hold off people invest time and passion into this project.<br>
<br>
Looking at alternatives myself, I haven&#39;t found an adequate successor<b=
r>
yet, that would follow similar architecture principles with a promising<br>
code base. Suggestions welcome!<br>
I already started a new project myself (java+webservice based) that<br>
picks up where ISPMan ended, but again due to lack of time this has not<br>
advanced far enough to make any suggestions here.<br>
<br>
ISPMan as we know it, is certainly a dead end, since no new version will<br=
>
be released anymore. I&#39;m still committing bugfixes though, that come to=
<br>
my notice. For existing deployments this may be ok for some time, but I<br>
would not suggest any new installations (unless it fits your purpose<br>
perfectly and you are eager to get your hands dirty with perl).<br>
<br>
If anybody found other solutions, please feel free to post and discuss<br>
them here - it won&#39;t distract too much from the other ispman-user traff=
ic ;)<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; The user list is not that active, but a least there is a ispman releas=

&gt;<br>
&gt; Where are ispman users migrating to, or are you still using ispman for=

&gt; Is there an ispman successor? Ispdirector doesn&#39;t seems very activ=

&gt; I looked at ispconfig 3, but I still prefer a solution with a REAL dir=

&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;From an architectural standpoint of view, I don&#39;t found anythin=
