Hey Andres I really think w3af's stability improved :) . It's fantastic that we are going to use Hudson (funny story, at my last employer we integrated w3af in hudson as well... sadly I wasn't working on that project...). And I think the doctests/unit tests will really pay out in the future.
On the other side I had some trouble installing w3af with Mac ports. If I remember correctly I installed the gtksourceview package, but w3af was still complaining about the dependency. I simply took the easy way: Ubuntu virtual machine :) As you might have seen [0] I'm already working on one of the automatic bug report related problems. In general I'm trying to convince my employer to give me some time for w3af development, I'll tell you if it will happen :) In general I think some people have trouble installing w3af. One problem could be that the wiki [1] and trac have quite a bad Google ranking. Maybe you could place a link on the main w3af page. Oh, and [2] :) Ok, now im definitely off topic! Keep up the good work! Especially Javier, Andres, Taras and Oxdef!

I completely agree that in the past the framework was buggy and finishing a complete scan with more than 10 plugins enabled was an epic story to tell your friends :) but right now my gut feeling is that its getting *much better*. What's your opinion? From the numbers that we see at our Trac we clearly see an INCREASE in automatic bug reports [0], but most of them are reports from old versions of the framework (r3731 mostly, which is the version that was bundled in BackTrack), that have already fixed bugs [1]. On the other side... these numbers tend to be relative to the amount of users we have in the framework, and that's not easy to measure either... so the basic question is: "How do YOU feel about the framework stability?
