Not that it didn't appear, just that I don't have enough time.
Peer to peer! Trendy. I can't see any obvious problems with the ticketing system, though.
Perhaps we can just find somewhere to run the web site over https connections and use the mailing list passwords? Or somehow else store details for it. Perhaps using encrypted email or something.
Is there a security guru in the house?

Time, time time, why is it we never have enough of it?
Peer-to-peer, its a good idea, it takes the itelligence from the core and decentralises it giving a more resilient system, generally. However, we need a method of tracking items as our membership is always fluctuating, we need some sort of control to the chaos, although limited.
Just out of interest people, we need to keep a level or proportion here[1], what level of security is really needed? We are analysing a system here and we need to maintain an implementation specific view of things until we get into the design stage. As I can see things, we skipped the feasibilty stage and also the analysis and Design stages, and thus we have arrived at the implementation phase with some major lack of designs.
When College finishes (4pm tomorrow afternoon) I will do the first 3 phases of the life cycle and produce a system specification for implementation. Can we get anything on the alug.org.uk hosts in the way of either mysql or postgres?

More importantly are there any licensed security guru's. But judging by the people who have offered to give security presentations at the next meet I would say the answer to your question is yes.
