OK, it's only rsa.js from a different author which is GPL.  The other
files look okay to me.

Can we proceed with this project by porting this code without the
rsa.js?  GnuPG "gpg --gen-key" defaults to DSA and ElGamal.  RSA is just
another option.

I like the idea of setting up a qooxdoo-contrib project.  AFAIK
http://www.hanewin.net/encrypt/ is the only code available.  The author
is in Neuried, Germany.  Should we ask him if he would release it under
a suitable license?

Hi Bill,

how is it going?  ;-)

Yes, I'd also recommend to make this effort a qooxdoo-contrib project.
That way all interested people can quite easily work together to include
such crypto features to qooxdoo.

To get started, lets proceed as follows:
* send me your SourceForge user name
* fill out the agreement and send it directly to me by email:
http://qooxdoo.org/license#contributing_to_qooxdoo
* I would help to set up a qooxdoo-contrib project (I suggest "crypto"
as name and top-level namespace), both within the SVN repository as well
as the qooxdoo homepage
* We should get more people involved (e.g. Christian Boulanger has been
doing crypto stuff: http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47
http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=808 ) and collect links to
info and implementations on the website. That way we can figure out the
most compelling implementations.
* We need to make absolutely sure we are license-compatible. At first
glance, at least one of the files at http://www.hanewin.net/encrypt/
won't work (it's GPL). We need to be either LGPL/EPL or use a compatible
license like BSD, MIT, etc.
* To convert existing code into clean and nicely documented qooxdoo
classes should be fairly simple. Typically, most classes will be static
anyway.

Sounds good?  :-)

Andreas
