help wanted

DAXFi is a Python package that helps configure several different kinds of firewalls in a consistent way. The rules can be described with XML files, XML strings, or generated directly by the code.

I've not worked on DAXFi since a long time; if someone wants to take over the development, I'll be very glad to give all the support that I could.

Required skills/keywords: Python, XML, firewalls.

User defined chains and chain policies were introduced. The pyXML package is no longer required, and the SAX API is used instead of DOM, with noticeable performance improvement. Now two rules can be merged using the XOR operator. The daxfidump script can write the output to a single file. Many bugs were fixed.
