		<title>Query the OSVDB using Ruby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago we published the Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) Import Plugin for the Dradis Framework. At that point we thought that it would be nice to separate the code and create an independent Ruby module that can be used to query the OSVDB.
It turned out that an osvdb project already existed in [...]]]></description>

		<title>dradis extensions: how they work and how to write them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dradis is a tool used for structured information storage and sharing. Although it is applicable to various environments, it is originally aimed at information security consultants working alone or in a team.
