Here the challenge is:
- to group them by category - to apply them in the right place. For exaple p2p blacklists are text files and should be applied to the firewall, while spam blacklists are dns based and should be added to postfix.
Perhap a simple architecture could be designed to update the avilable known blacklists. But in any case I think we should implement a new blacklist architecture for the internet.
Edubuntu is aimed at schools etc. Does anyone know if they have a feature like this? Apropos those who think the idea of a child filter is not worth spending any effort on, since this morning I was in contact with two school directors about installing SUSE on school networks. With one, the very first question was about keeping the Internet safe in school - with the other it was the third question. While the idea of 'censoring' might seem absurd to developers, schools take this very seriously and I am sure parents do too. I've seen how some schools see how filters don't always work and instead the implement whitelists. Duncan is right - there is no need to re-invent the wheel, but rather create a frontend to give parents and schools the _choice_ to implement the features. Ciaran
