Yes. It was discussed quite a lot some few weeks back on the
nagios-devel mailing list. Browse the archives for the full
discussion.

The future of Nagios is looking quite bright. In all honesty, that is
in part thanks to the Icinga fork, which has sparked a flurry of activity
within the Nagios developer community.

First of all, we'll be releasing 3.1.1 soon, containing a plethora of
bug- and performance fixes. Ethan's working on automating the release
process so that Ton and I can cut releases without having to update a
bunch of webpages, sourceforge downloads area, documentation, etc, etc.
3.1.1 will be the first live test of that automated process. If it drags
out another week or so though, we'll probably just go ahead and do it
manually anyway, as 3.1.1 really has a lot of important fixes that the
Nagios users really should get their hands on.

Nagios will get a new GUI, dubbed "Ninja" sometime during or after the
summer. Ninja is available for download already and is "usable but has
some warts and is still incomplete" according to Ninja maintainer Per
Åsberg. You can find out more about it at
http://www.op5.org/community/projects/ninja. This was announced at the
Nordic Meet on Nagios which was held in Stockholm just last week. Note
that it's not necessarily easy to install yet as it's still a work in
progress. Bug-reports or enhancement requests are ofcourse very welcome,
and documentation patches for the installation procedures even more so.

Hope that answers your questions :-)

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
