I was wondering why this was getting even discussed as we had been submitting rules per our previous conversation with JM months ago. I also assumed that the devs would just grab a bunch of rulesets from SARE and throw them into the GA runs. I think I'm getting it. While SARE free'd up SA devs to work on SA code, now comes the time for rules and we have TONS. So now there needs to be someone to check all these crazy things. Sounds like a dev devoted just to rules? So am I to believe that there will be daily updates in SA 3.0? This is the killer question. This is why people feel they are required to use SARE rules. Because without them, they get spam ;) We've almost reach the point at SARE where we have written rules for spam before the spam even becomes prevelent to the public. An as for overestimating how many users are using SARE...nope. Numerous download numbers and emails to me show that the ninjas have VASTLY underestimated! I'm going to try to help, but I'm already spread pretty thin. Once I finish a few other projects I'll be in a better position to help. Obviously we want to help. The underwriting theme of SARE is freshness, accuracy, and improving SA. Where can I find more info on SVN? --Chris
