<h2>How you can Help</h2>
7
<p><b>You like rsyslog and would like to lend us a helping hand?</b> This page
8
tells you how easy it is to help a little bit. You can contribute to the project
9
even with a single mouse click! If you could pick a single item from the
10
wish list, that would be awfully helpful!</p>
11
<p>This is our wish list:</p>
13
<li>let others know how great rsyslog is<ul>
14
<li>rate us at <a href="http://freshmeat.net/rate/52985/">freshmeat.net</a>
15
and <a href="http://www.icewalkers.com/vote.php?ID=2420">icewalkers.com</a></li>
16
<li>spread word about rsyslog in forums and newsgroups</li>
17
<li>place a link to <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com">www.rsyslog.com</a>
18
from your home page</li>
21
<li>let us know about rsyslog - we are eager for feedback<ul>
22
<li>tell us what you like and what you not like - so that we can include
23
that into development</li>
24
<li>tell us what you use rsyslog for - especially if you have high
25
traffic volume or an otherwise "uncommon" deployment. We are looking for
26
case studies and experience how rsyslog performs in unusual scenarios.</li>
27
<li>allow us to post your thoughts and experiences as a "user story" on
28
the web site (so far, none are there ;))</li>
31
<li>if you know how to create packages (rpm, deb, ...)<ul>
32
<li>we would very much appreciate your help with package creation. We know
33
that it is important to have good binary packages for a product to
34
spread widely. Yet, we do not have the knowledge to do it all ourselves.
35
<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">Drop Rainer a note </a>if you
36
could help us out.</li>
39
<li>if you have configured a device for sending syslog data, and that device
41
<a href="http://www.monitorware.com/en/syslog-enabled-products/">syslog
42
configuration database</a>, you might want to tell us how to configure it.</li>
43
<li>if you are a corporate user<ul>
44
<li>you might consider <a href="http://www.adiscon.com">Adiscon</a>'s
45
commercial <a href="http://www.monitorware.com/">MonitorWare products</a>
46
for Windows, e.g. to deliver Windows Event Log data to rsyslogd (sales
47
of the commercial products funds the open source development - and they
48
also work very well).</li>
