Party on dudes! I remember posting about bastardizing the contact field for things like this that others had mentioned. Thanks for putting a more formal idea out. You probably want to move the existing 'contact' to 'X-contact' too. Perhaps also for any non strictly required to operate stuff like nickname, and OS version string (which to the extent it is useful to the project might be a non overridable auto populated k-v pair). Removing the spaces from fingerprint would be nice and save bandwidth too. You'd need dual parsing for one revision period. _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
