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! + +This is our wish list: + +- let others know how great rsyslog is + + - spread word about rsyslog in forums and newsgroups + - place a link to `www.rsyslog.com <http://www.rsyslog.com>`_ from + your home page + +- let us know about rsyslog - we are eager for feedback + + - tell us what you like and what you not like - so that we can + include that into development + - 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. + - allow us to post your thoughts and experiences as a "user story" + on the web site (so far, none are there ;)) + +- if you know how to create packages (rpm, deb, ...) + + - 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. `Drop Rainer a + note <mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com>`_\ if you could help us out. + +- if you have configured a device for sending syslog data, and that + device is not in our `syslog configuration + database <https://www.adiscon.com/syslog-enabled-products/#>`_, + you might want to tell us how to configure it. +- if you are a corporate user + + - you might consider `Adiscon <http://www.adiscon.com>`_'s + commercial `MonitorWare products <http://www.monitorware.com/>`_ + 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). + - you might be interested in `purchasing professional support or + add-on + development <http://www.adiscon.com/Common/en/Products/techsup.php>`_ + for rsyslog + +**We appreciate your help very much.** A big thank you for anything you +might do! |
