[wirelesstoronto-discuss] [wirelesstoronto-board] [isf-vol] Groupe de travail: Gestion du contenu des pages portail

Mon Nov 2 13:38:42 EST 2009

Hi Jason --
That's the idea, as far as I know.  I'm not part of the dev team, but
they're doing an admirable job of keeping the community in the loop through
the dev site: http://dev.wifidog.org

I don't think anyone knows how soon it'll be stable enough to run on a
production network -- sooner with more people working on development and
testing, surely!  <smile>
