OpenAntiVirus is a platform for people seriously interested in anti-virus research, network security and computer security to communicate with each other, to develop solutions for various security problems, and to develop new security technologies. Moreover, OpenAntiVirus will also provide an integrative platform for different developing projects related to virus protection and computer security already existing within the Open Source Community.. . .
OpenAntiVirus is a platform for people seriously interested in anti-virus research, network security and computer security to communicate with each other, to develop solutions for various security problems, and to develop new security technologies. Moreover, OpenAntiVirus will also provide an integrative platform for different developing projects related to virus protection and computer security already existing within the Open Source Community.

It is intended as a co-operation and communication platform for working together, sharing ideas, or re-using existing code. Man power is limited and a KDE-vs-GNOME-ish war between projects won't improve security. Of course competition is welcome and in the end the users will decide which solution fits their requirements best.

Communication will be done mostly via mailing lists. Home of the OpenAntiVirus Project is www.openantivirus.org. Other facilities of communication will be announced as soon as they are available.
