   AVAILABLE PATCHES
 
-    o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
+    o 
 
   IN PROGRESS
 
     o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
         ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
+        OCSP
         EVP cipher enhancement.
-        Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
+        Enhanced certificate chain verification.
        Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
        Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
         Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
     o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
        ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
     o Richard is currently working on:
+       UI (User Interface)
        UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
              functionality that is currently missing).
-       Dynamic thread-lock support.
        Shared library support for VMS.
+       Kerberos 5 authentication
+       Constification
+       OCSP
 
   NEEDS PATCH
 
-    o  non-blocking socket on AIX
-    o  $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
-    o  "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
+    o  apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
 
-  OPEN ISSUES

     o  The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
 
                     which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
                     libcrypto)
 
+  WISHES
 
-    o  The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
-       totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
-       with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
-       Net::SSLeay package we can find under
-       http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html.  Ralf uses this package for a
-       longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
-       to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
-       Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
-       us.
+    o  Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
+       where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
+       [Gregory Stark <ghstark@pobox.com>, <rayyang2000@yahoo.com>]
 
-       Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
-               and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
-               to date.
-               Paul +1
+    o  SRP in TLS.
+       [wished by:
+        Dj <derek@yo.net>, Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>,
+        Tom Holroyd <tomh@po.crl.go.jp>]
 
-  WISHES
+       See http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tls-srp-00.txt
+       as well as http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~tjw/srp/.
 
-    o 
+       Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at
+       http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could
+       be useful.
