Hi Sergei, > 1. Ver.1 of openxpi was announced long ago. But releases at > > https://github.com/openxpki/openxpki/releases > > still have the latest (of May 15, 2014) version as 0.13.0.1. > > Should this be understood as meaning something like 1.13.0.1 instead?
No, we actually mean 0.13 (we consider the version minor an integer number, 0.9 < 0.10 < 0.11 < 0.12 < 0.13 ...). In the past months we have done some tremendous work on the OpenXPKI core, and we are quite proud of it. The new configuration mechanism is magnitudes better than the old XML syntax, and together with the Connector infrastructure we are now literally able to attach almost any data source to the system (including workflows). For version 1.0 we will replace the old Mason frontend with a new dynamic frontend. We expect this to be ready by Q3 this year (really!). > 2.

I know that we are not very good when it comes to maintaining the web page. http://www.openxpki.org is at least up to date in a sense that it points to the current documentation (and retains old information). We have considered throwing it all away and starting with a lightweight page once we have tackled all the problems for 1.0. To answer your questions, please "read the docs" at https://openxpki.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html The latest stable release is available in the "master" branch of https://github.com/openxpki/openxpki > 3. In the past, server (core) part of openxpki contained tools for > building online versions of openxpki docs (using docbook, Java and Xorg > libraries). Today these tools vanished or still exist? What for? As mentioned, documentation is now automatically built using readthedocs.org - it automatically builds up-to-date documentation after each single git update on github. It is possible to build static documentation locally using the Sphinx tools. There was no need to retain the old commands for this reason. If there is anything we can do to help you maintain the FreeBSD port please follow up.
