I’m currently focusing on providing a stable and flexible backend along with documentation so people can make their own packages and submit them.

Not to say we aren’t going to have packages like that though. Later down the road we even plan for a version that works with a single NIC to use in a server role. Packages like that are better suited for a situation where you have another firewall in front of the device running them.

We don’t recommend running everything on one box, but if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, we give you the ability to load the gun.

Packages are not a major focus of the development team at this point, while the core of the project is being worked on extensively. Don’t expect to see many or any packages added anytime soon. You are of course welcome to submit patches to include them!

I would like to see some type of email server integrated into this, possibly open-xchange, what you guys think?

Nice job really I am at 0.70.2 and ready to bump up… I was wondering.

Do you guys think Nagios could be implemented as a package ?
http://nagios.org

Or should it sit somwhere else in the network.

It is a great tool to complement the other ones

I must say that I have just recently switched over from m0n0wall to pfsense, and I must say that I am looking forward to the future of pfsense and its development however I do have a few suggestions, where/who do I contact about these.
