OK, lets get this IP tool sorted out quicky. I'm gonna set a deadline of Friday 30th of March for anyone who cares to send in their minimal requirements. After this, we will move on to specification for exactly two weeks. At the end of this period, those who wish to volunteer to do any coding will have a window to do so, and within this group, dicussions about implimentation will begin. Sorry if this seems a little bossy; it is. I just know that unless somebody gives it a kick start, this thing will fade into oblivion. There's no reason why it should do this as it could be so good. I am officially asking Mal to please repost the current requirements back up on this list. All those who would like to change, insert or delete a requirement, can then email with their changes. If you want something in, say so, and why, explicitly.. If you just say "Well, it might be nice if...", then it wont get stuck in. We need concrete, minimal requirements, that the working group can vote on. Hope this sparks some interest, Looking forward to hearing from people, Thanks everyone very much, Guy -- Guy Vegoda \ guy@vegoda.org *Please do not send html* NIC: GUY-RIPE \ guy@cryptography.org.uk *attachments* Unix, Linux Hobbyist \ +44(0)20 7961 8318 (work) www.thenakedfrenchman.com \ +44(0)958 469 532 (cell)
