information. Details of this release are part of the <a href="html/Changelog.txt">changelog</a>. This release
focused on infrastructure, organization, and initial design rather than
comprehensive policy coverage or security improvements. Currently only the
strict policy is supported, with targeted policy support planned for the future.
<br> <strong>Warning</strong>:This is a prototype release, not meant to be used
on real systems. It is targeted towards developers, to show the direction of
the policy's development and to solicit feedback.

<h2>Policy Conversion</h2>
<p>
This phase of reference policy development involves the conversion of policies
from the example strict policy. We have been using the Fedora strict policy
version 1.23.2-1 as a baseline for policy conversion, which is available
on the <a href="index.php?page=download">download</a> page. Then after these policies
are added to reference policy, it can be updated to be in line with current
versions of the NSA example policy. For those who wish to contribute, here
is a listing of modules which need to be converted:
<ul>
<li>acct</li>
<li>arpwatch</li>
<li>automount</li>
<li>bind</li>
