I mean those that are accounted in weeks of work. It probably turns out that we will attract this small typo thing, which we could also fix as a byline every now and then. If we open soure the wizard, we will lose the ability to provide some extra gimmicks to support customers in the future (remember: rsyslog funding is always extremely shaky and things really don't improve). Just let me bring a somewhat exaggregated example: do you open source the full Logsene source code so that anyone else can setup a similar system within a few hours of work? I thought hard about this, but right now I don't feel confident enough to initiate a discussion with my peers on that topic. If there is someone one the list who would like to commit to adding features like reading and interpreting config files, add better edit capabilities, etc. Please speak up -- I would be all ears to make this happen.
