The Nagios: Reloaded (Rewriting Nagios)

Will you forever mention on your new website with its new trademark that the ideas and inspiration came from Nagios?  Will you follow the usual Microsoft standard and claim a patent for the new technology of remotely polling devices through an integrated distributed monitoring system?  What do you intend the monitoring box to be doing to require extensive multi-processor computing?  Have you come across Nagmin? (its very useful)  What exactly is a managed language?  Will it be GPL?

Just a few thoughts about things.

Subject: [Nagios-users] The Nagios: Reloaded (Rewriting Nagios)

I'm working on rewriting Nagios in C# and I'm looking for input as to 
what people would like to see in Nagios if it was rewritten from the 
ground up.

Features I intend to add:

    * Rewrite in C# for all the reasons one would use a managed
      language, Linux boxen will use Mono of course!
    * Design Nagios to be distributed from the get-go.
    * Use XML files for main configuration to ease the creation of
      configuration tools.
    * Use a SQLite database back end for object configuration
    * Use a SQLite database for user access configuration
    * Portability through C# and our friends at Mono
    * Create web services for getting the status of services and
      allowing services to report in.
    * Multi-threaded to simplify program code and speed the program up
      on multi-processor systems.
    * Integrate RRDtool for performance reporting without need for a
      plug in.
    * More well-defined reporting tools.

Now I'll end up writing this whether or not people help, and whether or 
not it gets used because I'm going to use it myself. Obviously I want to 
get mind share on this project and see what other features people would 
like to see in this rewrite. I will also be releasing it under a new 
name which I am working on getting domains and possibly a trademark for.

What are other's thoughts and suggestions?

Jeff
