   It never took off. At the last minute I decided a repository
   of rules that worked only in mod_security was not the best
   way forward. Instead, I designed the portable web application
   firewall rule format http://www.modsecurity.org/projects/wasprotect/.

   The plan is to implement a portable rule database in Q3 this year,
   with the support of other web application firewall vendors.

   To be honest, there was another reason - I spent eight months last
   year writing the book, so I didn't have time to do anything else.
