Re: [SSI-users] Old download sections on website

I don't object...... however, if someone on the mailing list want to 
host the 1.0 and 1.1 version, that would be useful. Unluckily I don't 
have much space on my personal free website

IMO, the advantage of hosting one or two version back are:
1. For someone studying openSSI development history. Maybe sounds silly 
for sys admin or ordinary users, but sometimes it is needed for 
students or researchers. 

2. Every new version tends to have larger size on package. Maybe some 
one want slimmer version in exchange of feature loss?

Another suggestion: if 1.2.1 is released, i think 1.1 can be safely 
deleted because IMO there is no advantage hosting more than one 
development version. 1.2.1 will considered as fix version of 1.2.0, 
right?

Brian, just a humble suggestion, maybe you can create public polling 
about which openSSI version the users currently use? This way, we can 
create more interactions with users who don't subscribed on the list 
and we can grab more detailed statistic of openSSI usage

2.6.x version is in "wanted list" :))
