[Mixlet-devl] Roadmap

[Bryan L. F. <bfo...@so...>]

Here's my idea on how to proceed with mixlet.  Let me know of any 
suggestions or problems with this.

0.5 - Where I think we stand now
0.6 - Move some things around (basically create some pacakges) and write
       an ant script to compile everything
0.7 - All crypto should be internal (ie using classes from cryptix or
       whatever)
0.8 - Move off of using port 25 to send mail
0.9 - Config and cleanup.  Someone deploying mixlet should be able to
       access a simple interface to configure it.

 From there proceed with bug fixes to 1.0

For 0.8 I think we could easily supply 3 ways to send the message: a 
jsp, a php page, and a cgi.  All could basically take the message and 
pipe it to the local mix instance.

On .9 milestone: One thing we may want to add into this is using 
user-supplied keys (and stats?).  I say maybe because I don't know what 
all is involved in getting an applet to read local files.

I'd like to see all the mix stuff in a seperate library; Len wants this 
release quickly (I think).  So I'd like to make the move to a library a 
goal for version 2.  That would be the time to add typeIII support, I think.

Anyway, that's how I see it.
