I'd like to update the summary status report, and will send it later.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Nice interest!! I'm very happy your team could join the effort and this makes 
great sense to the young project. 

For the 1st release, the community had some discussion and we're expecting to 
get it done as soon as possible. For that we have got many essential things 
done, I thought we'd have another summary status report for the progress, and 
we'll need to see what's the gap for the release. Emmanuel or Kiran, what's 
your idea? 

For PKINIT, 50% is my rough estimation (maybe bad). For the release, I had 
moved the codes out of the trunk to a branch. We need a sync for the branch to 
move on as there is quite much change in the trunk recently. PKINIT is next 
major feature we'll make it work after the release, but sure we can resume the 
effort earlier, in separate branch in parallel, as we do in other ASF projects. 
Maybe we could roughly break the goal down into pieces: 1) PKINT in client 
side; 2) PKINT in KDC side; 3) PKINIT anonymous. Our old plan is to get 1) work 
first talking to MIT KDC. To move on, we'll make the PKINIT branch much 
prepared and let's discuss it in details maybe in relevant JIRAs. Note we're 
using this master JIRA for the new project:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB-102

Regards,
Kai

Subject: Kerby interest

Greetings,

Kerby is new to me but I'm quite excited about what it has to offer.  The 
project goals look great as an embeddable Java Kerberos implementation is 
really needed. Having read through the material on the website, downloaded and 
built the code, and experimented with it to some extent, our team is ready to 
take the next step with Kerby.

I saw the "Kerby Status Summary" that was posted on July 3, but I didn't find 
anything there about plans to publish the maven modules to maven central or 
some other publicly available maven repository.  Is there a projected date for 
that?

We have interest in the PKINIT implementation that was reported as about 50% 
completed as of July 3. How can I get involved with helping to complete that 
implementation?

Thank you.
