Magma and Magma on Pharo questions

[Ramiro Diaz Trepat]

Hi Keith,
Indeed, I remember from trying it probably more than a year ago, that your
Seaside Magma integration was brilliant, and it covered all the important
issues for a web application, such as session sharing / pooling and general
configuration integrated to Seaside.
I hope it is not to difficult to make it run again. I eagerly wait for the
81 version of Jetsam :).
Magma seems to be running very well and I would really love to see that
stack running together again.
Cheers

r.
