Christophe,

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the effort you have put in in the past, especially as it is no longer 'part of your job'.

I second that.

Hopefully we can rekindle the development of, and interest in, the OCF.
What do others think?

Definitely. I use OCF a lot, and it is a great shame that most of my stuff end up using the OCF <-> PC/SC bridge. I've helped in a very small way to develop a pure Java driver for the SM1 with Rinaldo Di Giorgio, using javax.comm. I think Rinaldo would be happy to place this into the public domain immediately, and it uses classes that are re-usable (for ATR parsing etc). The SM1 works fine under Win32, Solaris & Linux.

I'd be happy to contribute.

Immediate suggestions :
Pluggable logging - maybe move to using the Jakarta commons logging so log4j et al can be used
Better config - even a GUI for users to generate the opencard.properties etc.

Jon.
