DARPA-funded Linux security hub withers (Security Focus)

Security Focus covers the demise of the Sardonix project. "Initially funded by a research grant from the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Sardonix project aspired to replace the loosely-structured Linux security review process with a public website that meticulously tracks which code has been audited for security holes, and by whom."

I hate to say this... but what project? I may have heard about it 2 years ago.. but I really didnt know about it until now.

I am guessing this falls under the 'build it but tell no-one' and they wont come

I was just going to say the same thing. I work in the computer security industry, and my hobby is related to computer security, and I study computer security from books and on-line sources frequently, and I don't think I ever heard of this project. It is a classic mistake in open source, I think: "build it and don't tell anyone, and they won't come".

Ditto.

I would have been interested in being involved too. :o(
