+<h1>RSyslog - Features</h1>
+<p><b>This page lists both current features as well as those being considered 
+for future versions of rsyslog.</b> If you think a feature is missing, drop
+<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">Rainer</a> a note. Rsyslog is a vital 
+project. Features are added each few days. If you would like to keep up of what 
+is going on, you can also subscribe to the <a href="http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog">rsyslog mailing list</a>.
+</p>
