Since I sent from the wrong address and the "moderator" killed it as
always (why have a moderator if you're always going to kill the messages
days later without regard to their merit??? Why not just bounce/reject
them immediately???) here's the repost...

Sounds great!

Since you are just starting still, you might want to think about using
a framework like Horde (www.horde.org) for this. I'd bet the horde project
would welcome such a module (though ultimately probably wanting to extend
it to use any virus product and not just clamav).
In fact, as I'm part of the Horde project, I'd be willing to not only
try to help getting it into horde, but also help you with setup and coding
and so on...

Great (and thanks for including pgsql and not just mysql).

It would be great if you could have:
1) Authoritive/authenticated users add content which would be shown as
authoritive
2) Anyone add any non-authoritive info, which would be shown as non-authoritive
I'm thinking kind of like the php manual, where there is the authoritive
manual part, and then the user added discussions/submissions below it.
So, you might have three parts:
1) Info from the clamav database
2) Authoritive info about the virus (description, etc)
3) General discussion (Has anyone seen this in the wild? Anyone know how
to clean it from a machine? Here's how we configured our router to stop
the DDoS component of this virus... stuff like that).

That would be job #1. If we could add more info about the virus also,
then all the better.

Yes. And that i18n goal kind of goes against the "let anyone add anything"
concept, but I still think it would be useful to people even if it wasn't
translated, etc. (Or maybe users would translate others postings if they
thought they were important enough, etc.)
> What are you thinking about my plans?
Sounds good. Even as the stand-alone project you propose it sounds great.
But I could see it going even further. There is an obvious demand for such
a product (just see the mailing list archives).
