Sloth-ninja picks Clio as JessicaOSS's first practice-management bridge

The fork has chosen its first legal practice connector, with EU hosting and clear limits already on the record.

Sloth-ninja has dropped the earlier Quill and Unity route in favour of Clio, the legal practice-management platform, starting with its EU-hosted services. This is a planning decision, not a live connection yet, but it gives the project a more concrete path into a firm's working systems.

Practice management: access to firm documents is in scope, while creating bills and linking an AML service are not currently available.
Client intake: Clio's separate intake product is being treated as its own connection, focused on reading and monitoring information rather than replacing the firm's intake process.
Delivery constraints: the team has recorded permission, hosting and usage-limit requirements before testing the connection.

So what Firms weighing JessicaOSS should care because the fork is choosing an integration path that acknowledges both document access and the operational boundaries around it.

Spotted something wrong? Or know the PR text has fresher detail than the writeup above?
