I've been "pondering my navel" since this thread appeared, trying to decide if I should follow of the lead of the only other person I've seen "jump into the fray". I only recently subscribed to this list, and I did so primarily because I was attracted by the "mix of ingredients". While I haven't participated in an open source community before, I have spent most of the past 12 years or so involved in some pretty heavy-duty "security-related" development projects - and also introduced a former employer to the wonders of Kerberos more than ten years ago (to extinguish the "rsh" abomination!!) So, since I haven't seen anybody else dive into the Kerberos pool, I might do so if you guys are really interested in having a little company there. At this point, I've looked at the [Kerberos] code only superficially, but there doesn't appear to be a plethora of documentation there. Is this a perceived area of need?
Oh yes the internal documentation on the Kerberos code base is virtually nil. The same applies to unit test cases. Any such contributions would be greatly appreciated. Also this is a good way to get up to speed with the code base, and a good way to become a mentored committer.
As stated before, this area, the Kerberos code, is in desperate need of new committers. You are very welcome Richard!
