With the recent JuiCE efforts, + JSR 105 + XKMS we are starting to see a few different things occuring. I'd be hugely in favour of starting something at a higher level in Apache to get some visibility. I'm also toying with the idea of creating a broader security project/federation to encourage that kind of software within the ASF. Thoughts? Draft proposal for the board below. If we want to do this - all active committers will need to vote either on this or on a broader (or even narrower!) charter terms of reference that we all can agree to.
