Hi,

Do others think it would be valuable to Flume to:

1) more clearly list all available sources, sinks, interceptors
Compare:
http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html
to:
http://logstash.net/docs/1.3.2/ (scroll down a bit)

I find the Logstash "table" of inputs, codecs, filters, and outputs MUCH
easier to read and it quickly gives me an idea of what Logstash can handle.
 I can't do that with Flume without a ton of scrolling up and down.

Related: there is
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Flume+NG+Plugins . Looks
kind of secondary, very outdated, hidden (found it via Google)
Considering the support for inputs/outputs/filters is one of the key things
people look when comparing Flume to Fluentd, Logstash, or even syslog,
shouldn't this stuff be much more prominently displayed and nicely
organized?

2) on a Wiki, create a sources/sinks/interceptors/... wishlist so potential
contributors know what they could work on, esp. if it scratches their itch?
 JIRA could be used for this, too, but JIRA is often slow and not a great
fit for this.

Thanks,
Otis
