Hi,

I've been on this mailing list for a while without writing. I work in a project 
where we are using OpenPGP.js in a production environment. We however use it to 
encrypt larger files which forced us to make a few changes. The major one being 
to support blobs when decrypting/encrypting data. We had to do this since we 
are likely to operate on files > 100 mb and it was just not possible to pass 
around a string with that size. 

If you guys are interested we would like to commit this back to the project for 
others to use. Today I'm mostly reaching out to get the conversation started. 
There's some work that has to be done on our part before merging so I just 
wanted to touch base on what we've done. Right now we have added prefixed 
functions when we deal with large files so rather than calling write_packet we 
call write_packet_large and so forth. We did this mostly to keep our changes 
separate from the original source. We are willing to change this in however way 
fits the project guidelines better. There are some additional changes that 
comes to this but this would be the major one. Would these changes be of 
interest to the project?

If you guys want to use our logo on the OpenPGP.js site we can probably arrange 
that as well.

Best Regards
Erik
