Is the coova project dead? #561

The list is down because I haven't done anything about DMARC which would just mean messages not reaching all list members. |

Hardly anyone is really using captive portals anymore, especially where
there�s highspeed unlimited internet access available from ISP�s. A lot of
places now just have open wifi, or are setting a WPA2 key and giving this
out. Loads of Café�s around NZ are doing this now, they used to use captive
portals to control data usage, now there are very few doing this as ISP�s
are no longer imposing any data caps with mostly everywhere having better
than 100MBps fiber. The same goes for accommodation businesses, no captive
portals at most places any longer � the ones I looked at were just using a
WPA2 key which they gave out to guests � you can watch Youtube and Netflix
as long as you like with no wifi time/data limits. This is in NZ but its
going to be a similar situation in other countries also where these cheap
highspeed internet available. Cook islands still have a lot of places using
captive portals with data/time limits as internet access there is delivered
via Satellite and is expensive.

I don't have a setup to test changes to confirm the impact of proposed
changes/ability to reproduce reported issues.
Then there's the realisation that you're working on software to implement
toll gates, why help enable such a thing?
If your business relies on open source software to operate toll gates,
perhaps try to support the project with resources or step forward to
sponsor.

I am working on software to enable people to get internet that they would otherwise not get. In any case it's nobody's business but mine. I chose coova-chilli to support us because it has been (and still is) a great product... unless you run into trouble. However, it took 40 days to get a reply to this thread and it's not even an answer. The question stands.... is there a future? Thanks |
I was talking about myself. You asked why "developers/contributors are not helping much". |
|
my original question was "Is this project dead and should we look for alternatives?" and there is still not an answer... It feels like I'm asking a question to some politicians.. its a yes or no.. is it, or is it not? All the other points could be raised in the future... if there is one! Thank you |

Fun, joined 2024 |
Hi,
Been using coova for years and I appreciate all the work done so much!
But now, it looks like the developers/contributors are not helping much... the mailing list is not working. Users are helping each other but if you have a bigger problem, "good luck"?
Is this project dead and should we look for alternatives?
