[lime-users] Catching up

Hello! I have been out for a long while, and now I would like to resume my libremeshing. I don't remember many things, and I see the website did not change much. Is 17.06 still the recommended version? I remember when you wanted to precook binaries for your own network there was this chef thing you could use. Is that thing still available? I don't remember where it was. I'd be happy if you could give me some updates on versions, methodologies and URLs. Thank you!
