* Johnny should be viewed as a learning avenue into password security. It displays info in a more intuitive fashion(unlike the CLI option), makes using the powerful JtR a breeze. | * Johnny should be viewed as a learning avenue into password security.

* Nonetheless, the tool shouldn't be dumbed down to cater only to beginners, we need to expose as much functionality as we can carefully so that it is useful for professionals too. | * Nonetheless, the tool shouldn't be dumbed down to cater only to beginners, we need to expose as much functionality as we can carefully so that it is useful for professionals too. | ||

- | + | * Rethink the progress bar, can we replace it with something else? If not, what info is most valuable to be displayed inside it. | |
- | * Do we want to officially support and maintain any platform installers(Windows, OS X, Debian, Ubuntu)? Is that too much trouble for us or should we just rely on 3rd party distrib. maintainers or others to do that? | + | * Is there any value in being able to run multiple instances of Johnny on the same machine? Probably not if we implement sessions... |
- | * Is there any value in doing so even if we don't bundle JtR itself into the platform bundle too? | + | * Which jumbo features are the most important to implement? |
- | * Is there any value in being able to run multiple instances of Johnny on the same machine? Probably not. | + | * How can we support distributed JtR cracking in the future? |
