Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all doing great ! It is long overdue, but I finally have a web developer with some free time to take a look at updating the Muscle site. We've been getting a lot of requests on how to properly setup a Linux client and device with the Muscle applet so it can be used with our OpenID server: openid.trustbearer.com Naturally, we point people off to the Muscle site to get setup, but it is too confusing for an outsider so we want to make it easer to navigate and to drop the dead code.

I wanted to post some of our thoughts on how we plan to address this.

The site will be very basic with the following menus: Home, History, Software, Mailing List, About

Most of these are fairly self-explanatory.

Under software, focus on what it takes to make a complete stack (4 main categories of software):

1) CCID Driver (or if you don't have a CCID reader - here is another page that contains other drivers)

2) PC/SC Lite
- For both of these I'll point off to the subversion repository but work with Ludovic to keep a link on the site with the latest *stable* versions of each

3) PKCS#11/PAM/OpenSSL/etc (OpenSC)
- We added MuscleCard to OpenSC about a year ago and it should continue to work fine. - I will put a link going back to another page for the libmusclecard, libmusclecard-pkcs11, etc

4) MuscleCard Applet & GPShell
- We''ll have a link to the latest stable MuscleCard applet for JavaCard and also the latest stable GPShell to load the applet.
   - We'll also point off to their SVN/CVS repositories as well.

We don't plan to get rid of anything - meaning we will keep some discrete links on the site to legacy code / applications. My goal is also to move the Muscle site to a new server so we can have an overall Wiki for the Muscle project as well as the Wiki/trac/svn that each of the sub projects contain.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I want to get everyone's input before going too deep into this.

Thanks,
Dave
