[Owasp-input-api-developers] Re: Status?

[Mark C. <ma...@cu...>]

You know I seem to own the mailing list but don't have the password. So
I cant even add myself to it as it requires auth of the admin
subscribing ;-) Hence all I saw was the same old please approve or deny
ma...@cu... each night :-) God I am such a looozer sometimes. Its
being reset anyways.

As for the main  OWASP page we were hoping to get a high level page
thats consistent with each project. No need to do detail design plans.
The WebScarab one is a template. Just means we all have the same look
and feel for now until we do the portal when we can get more
granularity.

What we found helpful with WebScrarab was the workbook. The sections
included requirements etc so it kinda lead us to creating all the doc
needed. I guess the owasp.org page should be like the RUP vision
statement.

Zed Shaw has also been playing with Wiki for this as editing it all is
much easier. Not sure if we can install CGI's at Sourceforge but if we
could that would be a great solution. A sample dev Wiki is at
http://projects.itservices.ubc.ca/cgi-bin/moin.cgi

I have often found in the past that by plodding through a vision
statement, non functional requirements and some use cases helps solidify
everyones idea on the design. If there are any touchy subjects simple
voting can work well. 

I am going to read Alex's project goal proposal now.
