Sourceforge is always available.

I'm very familiar with Python and somewhat proficient with GTK, RPM,
and firewalls.  I can't promise too much, but especially during the
next month, I can probably be of some assistance.  I can be especially
helpful if you give me clear requirements:  I don't want to lead the
project, but I wouldn't mind using my PyGTK framework to churn out some
nice code.

Just to reiterate, we're building a simple firewall tool for personal
use.  We're not trying to reinvent Firewall Builder, or anything else,
eh?  What's wrong with the "Security Level" configuration utility?

Again, I think the mailing lists that come with a Sourceforge account
could be used.  I'm guessing that this list is for talk about the
"Fedora" part, whereas a Sourceforge list would be more for the
"application domain" part.

Have fun,
