If that is going to be the best solution then that may be the best way to go (not sure our budget along could stretch to that though, so we would be looking for additional sponsors).
>From my point of view, if its functionality matches what we have now as well the other bits and pieces that have already been mentioned, that aesthetically it works the same way (retraining staff is and expensive and time consuming business), that its code is based on a platform that it can evolve with and that migrating from one to the other can be made relatively simple, then this might be the best all round solution. What would you all think of a completely rewritten Aegir - Aegir 2.0?

As far as I know the Aegir codebase, it is not possible to integrate it directly and, which is most important, cleanly into MidCOM. MidCOM is its own framework, and the only thing Aegir can do is *duplicate* the functionality. Unless you do a complete rewrite you cannot *integrate* with the functionality, which is a very important (and nasty) difference. Exactly this is the reason why I propose to simply drop Aegir to a Maintain/Bugfix only state and to build a new solution on top of MidCOM, which makes real use of the framework, instead of trying to rebuild what is already there. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
