[OWASP-GUIDE] Shall we try to release at Blackhat 2005?

[Denis Piliptchouk]

I'll second this - from my experience, you only need to have a good (and 
compelling) outline when you apply for a conference spot, and then you have 
a few more months to work on the content. So, the target completion date 
would be not May, but somewhere in June for the new Guide release to make it 
to the conference's materials.

So, if we're refocusing on the BH - there's no big rush to get smth out in 
time for LCA?

Regards,
Denis
