Mixminion on Sourceforge

Chaps,

I've registered a mixminion project on Sourceforge. I desperately want
to contribute to the project, but unfortunately I think my particular
skill set is out of whack with what's needed.

With the project on sourceforge, I was hoping to contribute by providing
a reusable library that encapsulated the Mixminion protocol, so that
command line and GUI apps could link to the library without having to
reimplement any business logic. It also provides a type safe interface
rather than piping commands to a command line app. The hope was for it
to be cross platform, but X-platform development isn't something I've
tackled before. So is proving difficult.

I might put a framework together designed for the Microsoft .NET
environment. I develop in .NET every day so this should be considerably
easier for me. Windows users will undoubtedly form a large chunk of the
Mixminion user base eventually. As the Mono project matures, this should
~ render the library cross platform-ish. Which is good.

I've put a big fat notice on my project home page stating that the
official homepage is mixminion.net. Admittedly I was on auto-pilot when
I registered the project. If there are any concerns about the project
bearing the same name, I'll kill it.
