<div dir="ltr">I appreciate all of the hard work that everybody contributes. I am not a programer, just a network jockey. I too have got the basic stood up and running, and am in the same boat as Dominik. It looks promising but need to get all of the features working. IMHO this project will get more traction if less features were in flight. If the package was easier to install with all of the "current features" working. There should be one package of core features that is "golden". I believe more people would have it in production and then more development can be placed on alpha and beta features.<div>

</div>Thanks for that Barry and Nick! I installed IXP Manager some days ago<br>
and it was really smooth. I also saw that many pages of the<br>
documentation have been touched over the last weeks which made me<br>
confident that it is actually a working and proper documentation.<br>
I'll need to get some more features configured properly and see how IXP<br>
Manager works ...<br>

</div>... but once I'm confident I've gained knowledge about how IXP Manager<br>
works I'll contribute on GitHub aswell, not with code but with help to<br>
other users.<br>

<br>
</div>It's definately a great tool, we could've handled or integrated many<br>
things in our standard NMS/OSS ... but why should we. "Our" IXP is<br>
planned as a seperate commercial entity anyway, so we're seperating it<br>
from the beginning from our own tools. IXP Manager is helping a lot on<br>
this task.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
