As stated earlier I can offer a little bit help here. So let me repeat
my questions:
1. is there already something like a database for the released updates
/ erratas?
2. are the announcements already indexed by an advisory id somewhere?
3. where and how can I integrate my scripts?
4. is the announcement posting process already automated?

Bye,
Bernd.
