Look at the ML starting past month. Pavel Levshin has done some great contribtions, even totally refactored liblognorm and its interface. Also he gave me some hard punches in regard to how things worked ... what lead to the big effort around v8 (which I coded, even though I did not have the time to do so). If you contribute kafka plugins, I'll gladly add them. Ask others, e.g. the folks that worte the 0mq plugin, rabitmq, the initial ommongodb. Nobody had problems getting things in. The primary stumbling spot getting features in into rsyslog is a) not contributing code together with b) not contributing money so that others can implement it. Nothing political here... Again, I like this discussion, but it sounds like I eagerly guard rsyslog against anything that is non-Adiscon. That's definitely not the case. All I say is that there are many more folks that say "I want this feature" than there are folks that want to go any further.. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
