I will be happy to participate (which may turn into leading) in coming up with methods and such. I'll set up a github repo for this perhaps sometime this weekend. I know some other folks who are likely to participate are less enamored with github, so this is their opportunity to beat me to setting up a repo and figuring out infrastructure. =) Thanks so much Christine! -tom _______________________________________________ Messaging mailing list [email protected] https://moderncrypto.org/mailman/listinfo/messaging
