They are designed to communicate with the outside + world and need to deal with a range of input from the + internet. Since it is often hard for developers to forsee + all types of malvolent input security flaws are being + detected rather frequently in the apps we maintain. + </p> + + <p> + To reduce the impact of such incidents while still offering + a wide range of different web applications we created a + portage overlay that contains ebuilds for applications that + we do not want to maintain in the main tree. There might be + a variety of reasons for that and they will differ from + ebuild to ebuild. But in most cases security probably plays + a role. + </p> + + <p> + At the same time this overlay is the ideal playground for + new developers that whish to join our team. Once we see that + you are capable of writing ebuilds of reasonable quality we + can provide you with commit rights to the overlay, something + that we could not do this easily for the main portage + tree. + </p> + + <p> + You will find the overlay here: + <ul> + <li> + <uri link="http://svn.gnqs.org/projects/gentoo-webapps-overlay"> + Web applications overlay + </uri> + </li> + </ul> + Please remember that the applications available there might + compromise the security of your sever! + </p> + + </body> + </section> + + <section> + <title> + webapp-config + </title> + + <body> + + <p> + We recently switched from the old bash version of + webapp-config to a version implemented in python.
