What about making it available through www.e-secure-db.us ?
right now it is a frozen copy, last update 30 October 2002.
However, that can be changed.

So we need a non-US OpenCERT?

When the US laws make it illegal to know about incidents, I think

Aren't the current practices here looking like steps backward?
Still confused...
