+*** Announcement ***

10
+The ClamAV project is launching a new service called "Third Party web
11
+interface". It will allow selected individuals/organizations to publish
12
+ClamAV Virus Databases (CVD) through the ClamAV mirror network.
13
+
14
+If you choose to publish your signatures through our Third Party
15
+web interface you will benefit from the following:
16
+
17
+- before publishing the signatures, we will test them for
18
+  false positives against our false positive file collection.
19
+- before publishing the signatures, we'll verify that the latest two major
20
+  versions of ClamAV can load them correctly.
21
+- the signatures will be digitally signed and packaged into a single
22
+  .cvd compressed file.
23
+- there will be no ".UNOFFICIAL" suffix in the detection names.
24
+- a custom prefix will be added to the detection names, identifying the
25
+  organization which published the signature.
26
+- updates will be distributed both as full CVD files and cdiff
27
+  incremental updates. Users will benefit from lower network traffic.
28
+- the .cvd and .cdiff files will be distributed through the
29
+  ClamAV mirror network.
30
+- the service should result in faster remediation of false positives.
31
+- ClamAV users will be able to download the third party databases
32
+  using freshclam, by adding a single line to freshclam.conf, what
33
+  should make signature maintenance significantly easier.
34
+
35
+The service is still in beta, you are welcome to contact Luca Gibelli
36
+<luca*clamav.net> if you intend to join the beta program.
37
+
38
+We especially welcome those who already distribute their own unofficial
39
+signatures to join. A list of databases distributed by the new service
40
+will be available at http://www.clamav.net/download/cvd/3rdparty
41
+
42
+We will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
