It is great to hear that OSSIM continues to cross ref with OSVDB!

The import scripts that we had were just brutal.  Anyone that tried to 
use them would agree that it was better just to start from scratch and 
write your own instead of using what we had....  it would run for hours 
and hours...

I will let Dave (our lead developer) give the definitive answer but from 
my chats with him but it sounded like the XML exports would continue to 
happen but we wanted to encourage people to convert to the new exports, etc.

Let us know what else we can do to better integrate the projects!
