+      <p>This project was started during Google Summer of Code this year.
+	The aim was to create a library which can convert the audit trail
+	files in Linux Audit format or the format used by Windows to the BSM
+	format (the format &os; uses for its audit logs).  Apart from that,
+	I wanted to create a simple command-line tool and extend
+	<tt>auditdistd</tt> so that it is possible to send non-BSM logs to
+	<tt>auditdistd</tt> over a secure connection and save those audit
+	logs on disk, preferably in the BSM format.</p>
+
+      <p>So far, it is possible to reasonably convert some of the most
+	common Linux audit log events to BSM, but it still needs a lot of
+	work.  Secondly, I was able to configure <tt>auditdistd</tt> to
+	communicate with CentOS over an insecure connection.  Thirdly, the
+	command-line tool is usable but not perfect.</p>
+
+      <p>The present work focuses on configuring the secure TLS connection
+	between CentOS and <tt>auditdistd</tt>.  I've already tried using
+	rsyslogd but wasn't able to make it work.</p>

+      <task>I need more examples of rare Linux Audit logs; please send me
+	some examples if you have any.  It is much easier to improve the
+	conversion process with real-life examples of the audit events you
+	try to convert.</task>
+
+      <task>Configure <tt>auditdistd</tt> to be able to communicate with some
+	software on CentOS over TLS in order to receive audit logs.  I
+	wasn't able to come up with a simple solution for that.</task>

+      <task>Additional open tasks are listed on the Wiki page and in the
