Hi,

Well, you are welcome, indeed. Unfortunately at the moment I am very busy
with other projects ( as you can seen I have not much time even for e-mails,
sorry for the delay in answering you ), but I will support you as much as
I can.

Good. This could be interesting even contacting Baltimore if they are interested
into collaborating for interop testing... let me know.

Actually we have modified a lot the whole software. We are in the middle of
a 'not so much exciting' development stage: there is a pre 0.8 version which
use a new installation method based on autoconf which has to be integrated
into the main CVS tree.

Also much testing is needed on different platforms...

Obviously there is always the docs to be written, and this MUST be done (soon
or later... ).

If you want to take a look at the new version download the latest available
from ftp in the 'unstable/' directory (not snapshots!). And install it.

Let me know what your interests. By now you can take a look at the openca
sources and get yourself familiar with it.

There are many open issues:

	o TimeStamping Server;
	o OCSP Server (this is currently scheduled and assigned to me);
	o SCEP (CISCO Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) Support;
	o Updated OpenSource PKCS#11 (Smart Cards) Driver for Netscape;
	o ???

First of all you should subscribe the users and devel mailing lists, and
then post there your suggestions/willing.

Welcome to OpenCA development.
