[BlueOnyx:05770] Re: Automated installs of CMS's

[Taco Scargo]

I had contact with Softaculous yesterday and received information how to integrate with BlueOnyx.
To have them support BlueOnyx as a platform (read: test it), they require about 1000 subscriptions though.
If I have time I will have a look how easy it is to integrate.

With regards,
