Hello,
Since we are discussing ideas, I felt I'd chime in.
> * Something other than PHP :-)
I also dislike PHP and deem it as the BASIC of our times. However, it
is easy for everybody to setup and it is easy to find hands to work with it. So
I wouldn’t avoid PHP just for the sake of it. Having said that, perhaps a nice
alternative would be Python, for example using the Flask module. I would avoid
node.js; I feel it is something else to keep away from, and for the same
reasons as PHP (or BASIC).
If we stick to PHP, there is this project which perhaps could be the
basis for a nice nfsen replacement. It just needs to take it to feature
completeness and a better finish:

> * Integration into data store back ends or graphing systems
Another idea: adding to nfdump the ability to dump flows to an ELK
stack. It will probably use way less resources than Logstash does. That would
be useful by itself. Furthermore, then some efforts could be contributed
towards Rob Cowart’s excellent Elastiflow at
https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow/
Yet another one: Integrate nfsen’s alert system with ExaBGP, thereby
having an automatic blackholer similar to Pavel Ostinov’s excellent FastNetMon.
FastNetMon has more functionality, but just nfsen alters+ExaBGP would probably
be enough and pretty useful for smaller AS.

I offer no coding abilities, but will send coffee and beers where and
when required :)
