cacti-announce Mailing List for Cacti

I'm happy to announce that we have updated the development road map.  We 
have gotten ambitious and will be doing a lot over the next few months, 
including the long over due inclusion of the Plugin Architecture into 
the Cacti base code.

For those of you that are willing to help, please don't hesitate to 
contact me or any of the other developers.  If you would like simply to 
test Cacti 0.8.8 as we progress in it's development, don't hesitate to 
download it and give it a whirl.  If you encounter issues please post 
bug reports and/or patches following the guidelines at 
http://www.cacti.net/bugs.php.

We are currently in the process of enabling nightly builds of the main 
svn branch.  If you are interested in testing before nightly builds are 
enabled, please visit http://www.cacti.net/svn.php for instructions on 
checking out Cacti.

Happy Graphing!!!

Alex,

This is planned for the next release.  For many reasons, it will be 
revolutionary for Cacti.  Checkout the SVN (not in a production 
environment) for some teasers.
