Is anyone interested in working on this?
What do you mean? Are you requesting help?
I'm collaborating in the translation to spanish of the firewall howto by Togan Muftuoglu, if that's what you mean - but the project seems to be stuck.
Well let me bring in some perspective in to this discussion. When I had the first idea of creating a FAQ based on the commonly asked questions on the list, I was hoping there would be collabrative work among the members of the list. Unfortunately this turned out to be the not the outcome. There were occasions where sompe people did send either as an article or a more like a answer as a a collabration, yet the majority of the work turned out to be my digging out the mailing list to find the common questions and the replies to them. It is not only to find the common question yet also to find the correct answer in a way that would work out in every situation without severly changing the underlying philosphy of SUSE and YaST. It has become a tedious job and drifted away from staying an enjoyable hobby. Another aspect is my personal life and the amount of time I can devote to the project has become limited. After so many years, I have become a a student again and I have to put some effort into studying. One can say my priorities have shifted a little bit. Nevertheless, I do not like to leave things unfinished and I am doing a major rewrite of the SuSEfirewall howto. What happens after this rewrite I can not say. -- Togan Muftuoglu | Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer | Please reply to the list; http://susefaq.sf.net | Please don't put me in TO/CC.
