Hi Claudiu, Thanks for asking. The answer is yes and no. Yes: I did a bunch of work on it last summer, switching to boot, etc. No: the documentation, while plentiful, is probably pretty outdated, and I haven't looked at it for six months so I'm not sure what works and what doesn't. It does work, I'm just going to have to spend some time cleaning things up. Fortunately I'm due to start using it in anger for a Real Project next week, so I expect to have an update available soon. In the meantime poke around in https://github.com/migae, especially boot-migae <https://github.com/migae/boot-gae>, and let me know how things go.
