+0 from me. I think is a good idea to have XKMS server or Federation implemenatation, or more security. But on the other hand I don't know if we can cope with the increase of the scope with the lack of resources we have. For example the web pages haven't been change with the new SVN... We don't have enought examples, etc.
So that's way I vote +0.... Regards, Raul On 3/11/06, Berin Lautenbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Peoples, > > Sometime back we talked about becoming a TLP.
