Speaking for no one but myself, I'd say that this sounds very worthwhile. Red Hat started to produce a Security Guide in the documentation portion of later incarnations of Red Hat Linux, so a set of Fedora security guides seems like a good idea as well. I think the push has been for the Docs Project to produce small, self-contained tutorials. Perhaps in the interest of preserving continuity, the best starting point would be to think of how the security guides could be broken up... perhaps into groups like file/resource security, general host security, and service security (with each service represented separately). I could also see general IT security and incident response being covered by tutorials as well. I have a background in investigative forensic media analysis, and although I don't have a CISSP or comparable rating, this still piques my interest. :-) -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
