I think that is a wonderful idea, anytime everyone pools thier knowledge I 
feel it is an advantage to the community as a whole.  It will be especially 
usefull to newer admins who otherwise might never try modsecurity (due to 
fear of learning curve).

I have this idea about creating a mod_security

have. My very rough notes are available here:

http://www.modsecurity.org/download/modsec-ruledb.txt

I am well aware of the VulnXML and OASIS WAS efforts
but I feel the focus of the mod_security rule
database would be different. I want to create something
really easy to use, a tool that would help people
protect themselves (automatic updates perhaps).

For example, accessing an URL such as:
http://www.modsecurity.org/rules/download/phpgroup/php/4.3/

would produce rules to patch PHP 4.3 vulnerabilities.

Would someone care to contribute an opinion on this
subject?
