Project Progress: 0% Complete, Progress Page

Executive Summary
OWASP Site Generator is a great tool, but it could be even better and more widespread. There’s a lot room for improvements to both its functionality and user experience. The way I see it, main user needs to be addressed and specific development objectives for the next release of OWASP Site Generator would be the following.

User Needs

 * Create multiple types of sites easily
 * Track and analyze requests easily
 * Change the look and feel of the resulting sites easily
 * Create sites for multiple web backend technologies easily
 * Learn how to use OWASP Site Generator easily

Development Objectives

 * Create a vulnerability library that can be used for web services, HTML forms, AJAX, etc. instead of having to craft the same attack for each
 * Add support for logging of all received requests, as well as querying resulting log files
 * "Templatize" the code generation process, so it can support skinning of the resulting sites
 * "Templatize" the code generation process, so it can support different backend web technologies
 * Fix all significant defects in the current release of OWASP Site Generator
 * Redesign the GUI to make it more efficient and user friendly
 * Create a smooth setup program which would install both client and server components as effortlessly as possible
 * Write documentation and articles about it
 * Make the development process open to the public and, hopefully, driven by its feedback from day one

Why I should be sponsored for the project
Well, probably because of my past work on AoC (I just hope that won’t be the reason for me not to be sponsored :)
