Wonderful idea. I lurk on this group and bugtraq/securityfocus and fall into your target market - which ones are critical, which ones are minor risks, which ones effect FBSD. Count me in as a reader of your digests. I am certain that there are many many lurkers such as myself. Thanks for volunteering.
