I've had a barebones machine sitting in idle (except for being a ssh gateway for irc...) for almost a year, but for (past) reasons not worth mentioning, I've failed to focus sufficiently on non-real-life matters like OpenSC for a while. This might be a good chance to a) scope the services required for opensc-project.org and b) implement it on a clean machine with some systematic sysadmin approach. But for sustainable results, the scope should be seriously minimal and limited...
