So that it never comes to that though, we are working hard to prevent bugs and to close security loopholes that become known to us. Together with the technical board, we have put together a small FAQ to explain how security vulnerabilities are dealt with in ILIAS.

We spoke to him about the new Jour-Fixe process, improved communication possibilities and the plans for 2017.
