JB, I'm more interested in a roadmap showing major features and anticipated release schedules. I think that to a casual observer the OSSEC project may look 'dead' and that may turn people away, when in reality there are many individuals actively using and enhancing OSSEC--it's a perception thing. Even die-hards such as myself have a hard time determining what major features are in the works!
I'm hoping some of the major contributors (i.e. dcid, cmoraes, mstarks, etc.) can speak up about any new features they are working on and if they think a roadmap is a worthy addition to the OSSEC page, because right now it appears that everyone pretty much develops in a vacuum until they feel their feature is worthy / stable enough to disclose to the rest of the group. Maybe I'm off in left field and should continue to monitor everyones bi buckets until something comes along that excites me (*cough* like native auditd or Oracle DB audit support). If that's the case, I hope everyone politely tells me to go pound sand!
