1. For starters, we should rename the "main slogan" of OpenSC to something that's more up to date. The "supported cards" list could either be generalized or at least updated: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/opensc 2. Keep the main name OpenSC. This includes any binary installers, which we should provide, if possible, to those who are used to binary installers (Windows, OS X). This also means getting rid of SCA/SCB. 3. Keep OpenSC core platform-agnostic: OpenSC.tokend lives outside of the (lib)opensc package, so should the possible future MS BaseCSP piece, which is in nature similar to the tokend. The only cross- platform "public interface" is PKCS#11. OpenSC *installers* for those platforms, on the other hand, must contain those components. This means getting rid of SCA/SCB, providing OpenSC installers for Mac and Windows and either providing the separate user software as extra downloadables or work with other software providers to add support for OpenSC/PKCS#11. This is way easier if OpenSC declares somewhere what it installs, where and why, instead of providing kitchen-sink installers that try to do everything.
