[AG-TECH] Help with pAG ?

[Stanford P.]

Tobias, what is the official AGSC position on PAG?
I looked at this on paper a while ago and it would seem to address many of the problems of using AG within an organisation.
However, I never got it to work on the AGSC venue server (in terms of seeing any streams - it connected to the venue server with no problems) and I assumed that it was still in a development phase (the Wiki mentioned in the support link below isn't generally accessible, and the blog hasn't been changed since July last year).

Is it now released, or actively being developed? There seem to be a lot of good features there, and it would be good to see proper support and documentation for the product.
Cheers

You might need to change the web.xml file in the pag folder to the
version attached. The file in the package is written for gridsphere.

Best wishes
