Chris Shiflett has another posting on his weblog today concerning the PHP Security Consortium and the status of it after the launch.

The launch of the PHP Security Consortium was a big success. It required more work than I expected to get things going, but I think we're now set to make some very positive contributions to the community.

In addition to being mentioned on PHP.net, Zend.com, and Slashdot.org, eWeek published a story about the group's purpose and future direction. Although the story misses a few important points - our formation was not triggered by the Santy worm, and I made no mention of offering security audits - the overall characterization of the PHPSC is pretty accurate.

It seems to me that the PHP Security Consortium is off and running, especially with articles like this from the Burton Group, a note from Dana Epps, and, of course, a posting from John Lim (of PHPEverywhere).
