Re: [SSI-users] ssi on podcast

[Scott W. <sc...@sl...>]

The developers don't seem to monitor this list at all.  Try the
OpenSSI developer's list if you want to talk to them.  Mostly this
list is active when someone needs help setting up OpenSSI and then
dies down once they're up and running.

Or you could have a podcast interview with trolls ;)
