I agree with this. Would anyone object if we had your volunteer work on
the Mixmaster implimentation of the Mixminion protocol? Since that has to
be written in C, and will be server-only, it makes sense to me.

I posted a roadmap for where I see Mixmaster going earlier. Specifically,
this would be the implimentation that Type II and Type III only, is a pure
server, and uses the same commandline UI as Mixmaster 2.9 to make the
transition of operating remailers as smooth as possible.

Have fun!
