Greetings, Will. Welcome to the team!

I, as I'm sure others are as well, am anxious to get the foundation for
2.0 started. We should begin by drafting a list of features both
required and desired for the new codebase, along with a roadmap.

We should also re-org the developer roster. So those interested should
wave their hands vociferously! And we may want to include some new folks
wishing to participate. I've cc'd the Snort-users list for that purpose,
as well as to get suggestions from the community as to what they'd like
to see in the new BASE.

So, who's in?! :-)

Thanks,
Randy
