Good Morning
At SwiNOG-30, I was approached by several people, praising the merits of SmokePing and also wondering when version 3 will come out. I was happy for the praise, but did not have any concrete announcements for a new version, beyond bugfixes.
So that got me thinking ... would there be sufficient support among SwiNOG members to raise the money for writing Smokeping version 3?
Here is my feature shortlist:
* non-blocking polling engine - by using an event loop at the heart of the polling engine, smokeping becomes much more scaleable, as it can wait for many probes to return information in parallel without forking, thus reducing the memory impact.
* interactive charts as shown in the demo at SwiNOG without
* a responsive UI working with mobile devices
* the ability to pull in target information from a database
My current estimate creating this rewrite of is around 50k CHF.
If you are willing to chip in, and if you have requirements of your own, please be in touch.
cheers tobi
Tobi,
Sounds like a plan! I suggest do make a project on any international accepted crowdfunding plattform for the 50k (plus some reserve), we spread the link via all *NOG lists and social media and I'm confident that money will be raised in no time.
On behalf of the international network community I would like to express my appreciation for all your work and effort you made so far.

Agreed. Please put it on Kickstarter or one of the equivalents. PCH will back it.
