Its a good idea and I think it will be helpful however the problem of
having vendor neutral sites is an issue. Most of the non vendor sites
that talk about security and esecurity are blogs and many are opinion
based.
Some such as the Pauldotcom blogs, securitycatalyst, stillsecure, are
done by skilled professionals others such as steve gibsons GRC.com
have many factual errors in what they say about security issues. The
difficulty I belive will be in generating a vendor neutral accurate
information. You will be forced to screen so much information, many
fairly neutral sites such as security focus are owned by the security
companies. A few like SANS, packetstorm, and government agencys from
around the world, are going to be your only true sources.
That being said its a great idea and if you can get it to work ill be using it.

Hello All,
I am building a Search Engine exclusively for the Security and
eSecurity Community using Google's Coop program.
I would like to NOT include any vendor site but just index sites that
are vendor neutral. Would this is be a good strategy or not?
The URL for the search engine is
http://www.xml-dev.com
Any suggestion, or new URLs are welcome.
Note: I won't include any security vendor website in the index for right now.
