Rewrite for CV

I did a rewrite on the temp page. I removed a lot of details (it was long anyways), it still has a list of the metrics (rewritten) but whether the list would be copyrightable is gray. I added some commentary and retained the external links. RJFJR 22:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal for external link

I suggest the following article for reference:

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System - Magic Numbers or Snake Oil?

http://www.heise-security.co.uk/articles/89049

Note that I am a Heise editor and therfor will not add this myself because it is against our policy to spam. Please inform me, if you think that this kind of proposal violates the wikipedia policy.

Rewrite needed for Adoption section

It talks about v2, while now v3 is widely used. Some of the sites in the list is even down. I don't have the knowledge to edit it. 37.26.148.212 (talk)
