Okay, so I was particulary naive for short moment. Actually, why don't we try to get as little press as we can while spreading as far as we can underground so that when we really show up on the radar screen things it is too late for those who are against us. > This project has had an absurd amount of press time compared what we have > achieved.

Yeah, the time between releases is quite large (at least 3 months between 0.2 and 0.3), and the amount added/changed between releases is quite low (mainly just adding DH key exchange, encryption, CHKs, SVKs, and KSKs, and redirects (if it gets in on time)). Maybe we should lie low for a while until we are really ready for primetime (PK encryption, searching, updating, etc.). -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
