Did you guys change something in the expert DNS editing window? It does not work in Firefox at all, any more. Can't insert new lines, can't copy/paste from other windows... wtf?

Hi,

"The BSD based systems are not progressing very rapidly, as certain project managers of those projects do not believe in virtualization."

I am not sure what BSD systems are referred to. FWIW: The NetBSD project is actively working on Xen support. Not only was NetBSD one of the first (if not the first) systems to support Xen out of the box, it is current with latest Xen versions. Xen with a Linux dom0 used to be a problem, because NetBSD did not have PAE support, but PAE-enabled domUs as well as x86_64 domUs and dom0s are now supported in NetBSD-current.

I have been on the beta for a month now and nothing has really changed. There's little new to test and uptime has been somewhat spotty (external monitoring returned 90% uptime the week you sent out the email about a system-wide reboot). So we are in a paid test environment with little progress on things to test. If you want to keep beta-testers, who actually pay to try out this solution, you got to release early, release often and release something.

While you try to get BSD and Solaris imaged (why now and for so long?) and apparently struggle to understand why Subversion was voted for, I wonder how you have interpreted the reception of your AI offering in the hosting market.

Looking at the wishlist and questions in the forums and wiki, it seems evident that most users want and need Gandi AI to be just like shared hosting, or semi-dedicated hosting, in terms of installed "features." And those accounts have eveything under the sun these days, including Subversion.

You'll soon find yourself becoming the Dreamhost of Xen. So be prepared to answer questions about why that 1-share (shared hosting is cheap) Dreamhost clone performs worse than the original.
