From: jan.m.clairmont at citigroup.com (Clairmont, Jan M) Subject: AV Centralized community database Right On Brother. You don't need a big community start small with committed people who want to stop spam, virii, Trojans and work the solution. Like GOOGLE, that's how most great projects get started.

It's a real need so then advertise and let the market take over. Get some community involvement. Start with things that will draw people in. The market is like gravity -- trying to force it to do something is almost impossible if you're small. What you want to do is grow your project until it can reach the critical mass where it can't be ignored. Then you use your influence to affect change. How serious are people with regard to fixing this problem? Would people put some time into a community run site that had the goal of becoming an organization pointed towards becoming a primary depot of security information? -Barry _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
