Mozilla will fund audits for open source projects

Mozilla has set up a fund for open source security audits.
Is this something useful for SAFE if it qualifies for this fund?

Very cool! MaidSafe team has had contact with Mozilla in the past if I remember correctly so this could be a possibility I think!

Wouldn’t constantly changing and developing code defeat the purpose of an audit?

Projects that want Mozilla’s help must be open source/free software and must be actively maintained, but they have a much better probability to being chosen if the software is commonly used and is vital to the continued functioning of the Internet or the Web.

I don´t think it qualifies for the fund yet, but it might in the future, in particular when it is commonly used.
