I think it could be usefull to show examples (snapshot of monit web 
interface or console output) of all four monitoring service classes 
(device example is missing) and probably show the console interaction.

I think it is not needed to release public beta - in the case that we 
agree that the code is complete, we can do private beta (freeze the 
code) and test it for example for one week. If we will find some bugs, 
we will fix it and repeat beta testing with new candidate. As soon as 
there will not be any urgent issue (we can build TODO list of non-urgent 
issues), we can decide whether to release or not. Just my 2 cents ... 
maybe this is too expensive for us (we all are busy of some other work too).
