Yes, collaboration between NethServer and ClearOS would be a win-win situation.
I'm not up to date on ClearOS (I'm the CTO of NethServer), but I think
that our work overlaps on many areas.

git repo at http://code.nethesis.it/ or on github (https://github.com/nethesis)

> Are these packaged in rpm or handled via some other installation method?

rpm and yum groups, ie you install nethserver-firewall-base which
requires shorewall.
nethserver-firewall-base contains shorewall config with a web user
interface (I'm simplifying a bit, but to dive into details there's
developer doc material on dev.nethesis.it).

Great. But we can still talk on this list and/or on hangout.
