It's nearly there. Yann is wrapping up a refactoring of user/customer 
relationships which is more complex than we originally thought. And I 
have a bunch of documentation to write. But otherwise, it's nearly code 
complete and is in production at INEX.

Honestly - no. But we appreciate the offer. There's no point trying to 
test without documentation and this is why the code isn't publicly 
available yet (it's not on inex/IXP-Manager).

We also have LONAP and STHIX in the queue with their offers to help with 
testing so I hope to get that done with them soon.

Schedule wise, I'm at GPF next week so might get a chunk of docs written 
while traveling but then I have two weeks A/L. Even if I get docs 
written next week, I don't think it's wise to release just before I 
disappear - let's see. If not next week, then ~4-5 weeks.
