That's not a deterrent on my part. I've cropped up a development plan on the Wiki:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/johnny-roadmap
This should guide us on steering Johnny further than it's current state. I propose frequent incremental releases, until we reach 2.0. From then onwards we'll be able to make another plan to better suite at that specific moment in time and state of Johnny.
Solar, Aleksey, you can go ahead and make modifications(or anyone else who has something to contribute) to the Wiki or reply to this e-mail. I'll update that constantly as I find new things or must dos and come back to it anytime I feel like development is going side-ways.
