Opening Kerberos Policies and Development
I mentioned shortly after the consortium launch that one of the tasks on our plate was to open up MIT Kerberos as a project. We had some promising initial meetings but I needed to put together a proposal with some concrete policies. I’ve taken a stab at that. In particular I’m proposing to create K5Wiki, a place to coordinate activities related to MIT Kerberos Development. We already have a thriving mailing list culture for discussing things. We don’t have a good way to make public documents such as project proposals, project designs, release time lines and roadmaps available. I hope that this wiki can accomplish some of that. Other efforts are under way to make available details of what consortium staff are working on at least for members of the consortium. Together these two efforts will significantly improve transparency.
Currently K5Wiki is a proposal I’m making to the community. We’ll have a discussion on krbdev@mit.edu and see whether the community likes it. If not, I hope someone has good ideas for alternatives.
