staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

It’s been a month since I last updated my plan, so I thought I’d add another
entry to keep everybody up to date. There exists OGR code for the master
server, the full proxies, personal proxies, and clients. Right now it’s mostly
functional – the list of items left to do include such things as: handling
multiple OGR ruler lengths simultaneously; saving and restoring partial blocks
on disk in the client; validation and testing to ensure that the master
distributes all stubs it should (it’s not as simple as RC5!); and finally
beta testing (we will announce how and where beta testing will take place
soon).

If all goes well, we should see beta testing start sometime this month.
Watch this space!
