You can contribute to the project even with a single mouse click! If you could pick a single item from the wish list, that would be awfully helpful!</p> <p>This is our wish list:</p> <ul> <li>let others know how great rsyslog is<ul> <li>rate us at <a href="http://freshmeat.net/rate/52985/">freshmeat.net</a> and <a href="http://www.icewalkers.com/vote.php?ID=2420">icewalkers.com</a></li> <li>spread word about rsyslog in forums and newsgroups</li> <li>place a link to <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com">www.rsyslog.com</a> from your home page</li> </ul> </li> <li>let us know about rsyslog - we are eager for feedback<ul> <li>tell us what you like and what you not like - so that we can include that into development</li> <li>tell us what you use rsyslog for - especially if you have high traffic volume or an otherwise "uncommon" deployment. We are looking for case studies and experience how rsyslog performs in unusual scenarios.</li> <li>allow us to post your thoughts and experiences as a "user story" on the web site (so far, none are there ;))</li> </ul> </li> <li>if you know how to create packages (rpm, deb, ...)<ul> <li>we would very much appreciate your help with package creation. We know that it is important to have good binary packages for a product to spread widely. Yet, we do not have the knowledge to do it all ourselves. <a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">Drop Rainer a note </a>if you could help us out.</li> </ul> </li> <li>if you have configured a device for sending syslog data, and that device is not in our <a href="http://www.monitorware.com/en/syslog-enabled-products/">syslog configuration database</a>, you might want to tell us how to configure it.</li> <li>if you are a corporate user<ul> <li>you might consider <a href="http://www.adiscon.com">Adiscon</a>'s commercial <a href="http://www.monitorware.com/">MonitorWare products</a> for Windows, e.g. to deliver Windows Event Log data to rsyslogd (sales of the commercial products funds the open source development - and they also work very well).</li> <li>you might be interested in <a href="http://www.adiscon.com/Common/en/Products/techsup.php"> purchasing professional support or add-on development</a> for rsyslog</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p><b>We appreciate your help very much.</b> A big thank you for anything you might do!</p> </body> </html>
