You're doing great, thanks.
This morning (err ... yesterday morning by the time I am sending this),
I was contemplating asking you to do a technical edit of tuxxer's
Hardening Guide:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2005-April/msg00299.html
I'm outclassed in this particular area, somewhat. It would also give
you a chance to become familiar with the other security doc in the
works. It doesn't seem to me that your idea and this guide are mutually
exclusive.
As far as your idea in general, it sounds like a very good one. I've
envisioned sets of Fedora docs tied together by common theme. It would
be an awesome service to the community to have proper Fedora security
guidelines and practices.
It also sounds as if your ideas are generic enough to be easier to
maintain across versions of Fedora Core. In other words, the ideas are
timeless, and the documents don't necessarily contain procedures or
formulas that need updating. That sort of work would happen in docs
such as the Hardening Guide, SELinux Apache tutorial, etc. Have I
interpreted this correctly?
Actually, I am fine with sole authorship. I just wanted to provide
the
idea and bounce it around for comments.
If no objections, i'll start working up a document structure tomorrow.
Thanks again and I look forward to working with you.
Sounds good, looking forward over here as well.
