Releasing code for a whole project? (vulnerabilities?) - El Forum - 04-02-2011

Hi.

I'm considering releasing all of the code for my project. I understand that if/where there are vulnerabilities in my code, this will potentially expose them to the wrong people. What does one do about this?

Make sure there aren't any? Wink No, serious, check, check and then check again.

On the other hand, first rule of programming is that there is always one more bug.

You can setup a channel through which people can report issues to you. Make sure communicate about issues, and to fix them very fast, so people keep confidence in your project.
