Let's have a KPLUG (self-signed) CA

KPLUG can/will sign member certs

Possible uses:
*************
client-cert authentication at our site for some (future) special access
members may exchange certs for similar mutual auth (eg stunnel)
nebulus KPLUG membership _status_ benefit

==> what else? there must be something?
==> Brainstorming contributions, please


Costs:
*****
infrastructure -- CA administrator/-ion, policies/procedures, CRL
applicant identification, csr generation and acceptance
 need config specs for (minimal) csr content & recipe, web form?
 csr could be accepted at upcoming gpg signing party
 could accept csr vouched-for (signed) by N members or ??

Open-ended question:
*******************
Might there be a future in cross-signing of self-signed CAs like this to
establish some kind of trust web?

Maybe there already is? (Could be I butchered the terminology?)
