Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Is IceCat 24.0 secure?

[Loic J. Duros]

Great idea. It would be nice to have this. Would you like to volunteer
and, in the future, regularly send me an email with the list of
fixes/security status so that I can post on a page in
http://gnu.org/s/icecat

Building the next IceCat and LibreJS keep me busy enough, so more help,
not just development, but such work as documenting, as you suggest,
would be extremely helpful!

I don't think the gnu.org offers an easy way to securely allow someone
to post content on a single page only, unfortunately, but maybe it will
be worth at some point to set up a simple wiki app, even if a lot of the
documentation would actually end up linking to mozilla.org.

Thanks again for your suggestion!

Loic
