Is anyone at the > project going to clarify the "release cycle" such as it is? For the last few years I have been telling people that 4.1.7 is a "stable" release even though it is marked "unstable". So if you trust me, then please use that instead of the really old version. :-) However, I am still not guaranteeing that your server will not go up in flames if you use 4.1.7, however I have used it in the past and I'm sure many people have used it in stable production environments as well. > 5) Only the developer list seems to get any response from anyone > involved with SISuite, leading me to believe that support is considered > "beneath" the project managers. I wouldn't say that, necessarily. But I agree that the traffic for the users list has been quite low. This is a call for help. If you are still using SystemImager (and I know you are out there!), please try to help others! We all have our own jobs and other projects that we work on but if you use the software and wants it to continue growing, then help out! Every little bit helps. We will be migrating the SystemImager repository to GitHub very soon. Hopefully once we're there we can kickstart development by attracting new developers to the project. In the mean time, I would recommend you take a look at the SystemImager fork SALI: https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/sali. Once we're on GitHub, the SALI folks will be creating a fork of our main repository which will make the changes between the two code base much clearer. Also, if anybody has experience maintaining MediaWiki and would like to help us moderate pages for potential spam, please reply back to this email or send me a private email. Thanks for your continual support for the SystemImager project.
