The plan is to use the data from the survey to review Apache configs to be sure SSL is in place where it is expected and to identify other places where it should be, and then working with you to get SSL there.

Outsourcing the CommonSpot migrations is working well so we thought we'd we’d try it in LAMP too. We'll We’ll be in touch with individual LAMP users as the release nears.
