1. _The_reason_: I am going to provide and maintain a list of tools related to finding and fixing flaws in application security (code). I am going to cover the who, what when, where, features, etc. This list will be maintained on www.owasp.org. It will be comparable to the SANS tool list (not linked because it's worthless) or Talisker's tool list (http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/). It will be more focused and hence (hopefully) more detailed/useful. I would think a vendor would want to be listed. To ensure they are listed they should contact me. The way you phrased your response makes you sound as paranoid of people with agendas as I am. ;) 2. This project is not vendor driven. It is a personal project, started on my own time and largely done on my own time. I will host it using someone else's bandwidth where possible. If necessary I would host this on my personal website; luckily, organizations like OWASP have expressed interest in this. 3. No one needs to drop anything including puppies to participate. In fact, I am very much not a fan of puppy dropping. I am BCC'ing secprog, vuln-dev, SC-L, and webappsec again to avoid needless cross-pollination. -ae
