Happy to help in a Security function.

Good to see you have been doing so well, Dick. Great that you're happy to help.

One cool thing you could do would be to contribute the source code to all those fixes and improvements you were talking about on your blog.

I would be happy to assist with the Doc team.  i have excellent organizational skills and network administration experience, though no coding experience.

4 or so hours per week is easily accomodated.

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Hi again all,

Very nice to see that you are willing to dedicate time and effort to this project. It's much appreciated!!

We will let this request 'stay' for a little bit so others will have the opportunity to 'pitch in' whatever they can

Eventually we will setup wiki pages for each team with sub-sections to get things rollin'

We urge ALL who have not yet responded to think about their own skills and willingness to get involved. We really could use some help on this great project and everyone is welcomed to start working on it.

Don't be shy or afraid, join the project, have fun and make new friends!

Thanks again for your considerations!!

Hi all!

I'd be happy to pitch in.  I've been using SME since 5.5.  I'll work on the documentation as leader/member as you desire.  I should avg 3-4 hrs/wk.  I also develop doc's for the egroupware project.

A project mgmt add-in for xoops would be very helpful as we could then chart/organize tasks and monitor progress accordingly.

PS - why not post this initiative in the news?

I would be happy to assist in the SME development.
SME needs some streamlining to be able to stand the competition (Just look at what is comming in Clark Connect 3.0)

But - SME is too good a product just to die at the top of success.

I hope we all can find a way to bring SME onwards from the RH7.3 basis - not just for a new version, but to be able to bennefit from the rest of the Open Source world, updates and security enhancements.

SME is probably never gonna be a streamline product, but SME does what is do well - and in a way that matters for me:

with security in focus.

1. I apply for team member for the Security Team.
2. I can dedicate 4-8 hours a week (and more if needed - in areas that interest me
3. I have the following skills: working with pc software development and server solutions for the last +20 years - both as a programmer and teamleader. Has been especially interested in security hardening for the last 5 years. Has been running (on private basis) on SME since 5.1 (and RH/BSD/SUSE among others) - latest 6.01 has been smoothly upgraded since 5.1. Has currently +4 SME 6.01 servers running in a private test project - is able to perform verification of security as well as penetration tests.
4. Just as a member/tester - too mutch to do as a leader (and others would probably be happy to be a leader)...

Best regards
Anders - Denmark
