10. Outstanding
Issue
• APIX
website
– We
planned
to
copy
Euro-­‐IX
somware
and
change
its
skin
•
in
order
to
avoid
reinven4ng
the
wheel
– However,
development
of
Euro-­‐IX
somware
is
significantly
delayed
– we
should
temporarily
fix
our
website
as
soon
as
possible,
although
we
are
s4ll
wai4ng
for
the
implementa4on.
