First, let me introduce myself.
My name is John Tavs and I am new VP of Engineering for XORP.
Clearly my first challenge is to get more people working on the XORP
project and that is where I am focusing my time right now.
One of the persons I am planning to bring in someone that can
implement what network admins need for a successful XORP deployment.
And that person will reach out to those who are using XORP to learn
from the experience of the community.
Regards,
John Tavs

In any successful company you will find people
specialized in their field. Being a programmer
means you write code, not necessarily designing a
user interface. Anyway, I understand your point
although it makes me wonder if the XORP project is
at all interested in what its few users have to
say about it.

Well, I wouldn't want my BGP daemon written in
Python, but for a lot of the other stuff, setting
hostname, AAA stuff and so forth I sure think XORP
could benefit from being able to write stuff in
python or some other scripting dialect.
I mostly code in Perl, but I'd have no problem
taking on Python for the sake of writing some XORP
thingy.

Kristian.
