*big snip to save bandwidth* :-) Wow this is a great discussion! Lots of stuff to cover. I guess the whole local rule submission thing first. It is WAY too big for one person. I like the idea of 1 person in charge of one type of rule. Like "From" or "subject". People could submit rules to that person to be added. This could ease the load. However multiple people would have to check those rules against their own corpus.
Look at the great work Dave is doing grepping out URLs from a corpus!! That rocks!! I would bet that takes a lot of time, and therefore he would only (hypothetically, I'm not trying to volunteer him!) have to cover that. The marking of rules as temp_evil_Aug03 is kick butt idea!! I guess we are kind of trying to get rules available to the public faster then SA versions come out. Look at all the work the devs have to do for a mass check! Saving these as .cf files for wget or ftp would be great!! Especially if we split them up. I guess SA is becoming so big, it kind of needs a rule consortium now. Again, not that the devs aren't rocking, just to get rules out between SA versions. I love the idea, and am willing to help in any way. I guess it would have to start with people volunteering to take on a rule type. Might need a few to handle the body rules though. So....any volunteers? :-) I think we would need around 5-10 people.
