Hi all, so, there's been lots of talk recently about mpOTR (or whatever will come out of it, maybe in the form of some kind of mpENC ...). Many posts were deferring to face-to-face discussions at the recent RWC [1].
As somebody who didn't attend RWC, and only read some interesting record snap shot of opinions on PiratePad [1], I'm keen to find out more about what the state of the discussion around mpOTR is. Have there been more meetings? Maybe some more meeting notes? Has somebody aggregated some kind of plan or consensus for further work? I really liked the kind of momentum that could be injected by Nadim's shout out recently. But it got a bit quite after a whole bunch of responses to that call for participation. So some kind of feedback for those not present at RWC or 30C3 [2] would be highly appreciated. After reading [1], I thought that a solution to the ordering criteria in presence of potential clock skew could be to use vector timestamps [3] complemented by a common agreed rule to sort messages that have to be considered concurrent according to the vector timestamps. And I think this type of ordering could be sufficient, but that of course largely depends on how the communication protocol and it's constraints will be designed. Anyway, I'm happy to hear and/or discuss things, just need some kind of input through the list.
