    And who wants w3af as an enterprise solution? :) Please don't
mistake rapid7's sponsorship with a move to have an enterprise
solution. At least for now, this is not our objective. I'll answer the
rest of the email, but just thinking about how to enhance/improve
w3af.

    I think this is one must have feature, but right now I think we
need to fix the existing bugs and enhance the framework's performance.
Once we have that, it will be much easier to build on top of it.

    This would be a nice feature, too, and as you say it wouldn't be
hard to implement.

    That's a big decision to make, basically, if we have a webUI we
would be able to provide some kind of w3af SaaS... but for now the
console and the GUI are more than enough.

    hehe, yes... current reporting features suck :P

    I think that this is another feature that needs to be added. I've
been working on supporting client side technologies in the past, and
it's not easy at all. The good news is that a full time employee is
joining the w3af team as of Sep 6! After this, everything will be
*much* easier!
