Hello Sites Using Bro,
We'd like to ask for your help. We're in the process of preparing a
major funding proposal for improving Bro, focused on: improving the
end-user experience (things like comprehensive documentation,
polishing rough edges, fixing bugs); and improving performance.
This looks like a potentially excellent opportunity. However, a
major element of winning the funding is convincingly demonstrating
to the funders that Bro is already well-established across a large &
diverse user community.
To develop that framing, we'd like to ask as many of you folks as
possible to fill out the small questionaire below. Please send the
replies to Robin personally, not to the list (just replying to this
mail should do the right thing). Assuming sufficient feedback, we'll
post an anonymized summary to the list.
(Of course we already know about many of you, but collecting this
information more systematically will allow us to put together a
better overall view of the Bro community.)
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vern and Robin
