Greetings!  I'm always looking for input/help with the Security Guide.  I've been working on the F19 version for the last few weeks but see some other changes that need to be had for the F20 version (especially at the first section).  You might also take a look at the Defensive Coding Guide [0] as that is a new project that was recently liberated that I have high hopes for as well.

I'm in the process of re-establishing the Fedora Security SIG which promises to have a hand in these guides (along with many other tasks).  I hope to release an announcement soon on the Announce list.
