Subject: SecurityForest - Public Release #1

Hi Gregory,
As to my knowledge, the internet is a global network and all the information contained within is openly available. I also don't see the "advantage" you have mentioned - are we at competition with one another ?
Secondly, thanx for the complement on the "idea".
As mentioned in SecurityForest's Mission - "for the community - by the community". I hope that the security community will see an advantage in contributing as without it, the Forest will not grow and therefore the community will not gain this medium of shared knowledge.

Best Regards,
Loni

>> Summary
>> =======
>> SecurityForest.com is a collaboratively edited Forest consisting of Trees which anyone can contribute to. SecurityForest's trees are specific security repositories that are categorized for practical reasons. The technologies currently in use in these repositories are based on Wiki technology and CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) technology. Depending on the species of the tree - the suitable technology will be used. SecurityForest.com is a collection of repositories (trees) for the community - by the community. In other words - the updating, modifying and improving can be done by anyone in the community.
>> This public release is posted at http://www.securityforest.com/wiki/index.php?title=SecurityForest_-_Public_Release_no.1

>> The Open Source Idea
>> ====================
>> The basic idea behind Open Source is very simple: When people can read, modify and improve a piece of software, the software evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional development, seems astonishing.
>> We at SecurityForest have learned that this rapid evolutionary process produces better results than the traditional closed model, in which only very few people improve the Security Repositories and everybody else must use what these individuals have come across and added. SecurityForest is not only based on OpenSource software, but itself is opensource meaning the updating, modifying and improving can be done by anyone in the community.
