I'm trying to set the last SVN version to h-node.org, I hope I will be
able to finish this task the next week. This is perhaps the most tricky
issue.

About Debian 8, I will load it in the h-node.org version the next week
(even if I won't be able to upload the SVN version)

Yes

Yes, there is a config.xml file with all the contents:

https://www.h-node.org/config.xml

Is there anyone that would like to update this file and send the updated
version in this list so I can upload it to the h-node.org server.

Can you link some broken link?

I've developed EasyGiant too and built a lot of websites with it, but
only websites. H-node is the only big project built with it

Server and technical support
