Folks
I am working on a project that would add some really exciting capabilities to the
MediaWiki. I am looking for a developer who knows the source code base interesting in
consulting on this project.
I’ve been working on modeling threats to election systems, the value of having a paper
trail as well as other means to prevent election fraud.
The results are here:
http://www.brennancenter.org/programs/dem_vr_hava_machineryofdemocracy.html
We have budget to add threat modeling capabilities to the MediaWiki which could be used
for lots of other modeling tasks.
The work involves taking our catalogs of attacks on voting systems and representing them
in ways that are more understandable, editable, augmentable, and still easy to manipulate
and analyze automatically.
Anyone out there want to get paid to add some cool capabilities to the MediaWiki? You will
get to work with and perhaps publish with some of the major names in computer security and
perhaps develop a new methodology for decision making in the IT security space.
Send an email if there is ANY chance you would like to help, either take the lead and get
paid or consult and support our work to protect democracy as a volunteer.
The ideal candidate would know something about computer security.
Please write to ericlewisii(a)aim.com directly on this.
Eric
