Where to from here?

I have been slowly working on a branch that cleans up lots of the classes, and is working on reimplementing the admin interface (and in the future the captive portal pages) on Symfony. This is going to take a little while, but brings us to the present day in terms of frameworks. It’ll make a huge difference to the speed of development compared to the mishmash of php scripts that is the “Radmin” code. Hopefully it’ll also encourage others to get involved. More details of what the looks like will be coming soon!
