This made me remember an email sent some time ago ([Summary] w3af Top
3 & Bottom 3) where we discussed the best and the worst of w3af.
Summarized something like this...
- *BUGS*
- Reporting
- Release schedule
- Documentation
- Pause a scan, turn of computer, start again
- Client server architecture
Could include some of these points (to make) as a goal?
Cheers
