I'd like to spend some time during the Sprint doing three things:

1. Doing a code review of the modified SSL C code with 2 or 3 others. Can we get a small conference room with a projector to use for an hour? If not, I can provide one at PARC. I also need a few volunteers to be the review group.

NP, I'll try to book something.

2. Working on the test cases and adding them to the standard test suite.

3. Improving the documentation. In particular there needs to be better documentation on certificates, what's in them, how to use them, what certificate validation does and does not provide, where to get standard root certificates. It would be useful to document some standard code patterns, like how to shift into TLS after a STARTTLS request has been received, etc. A fourth thing I'd like to do, which isn't strictly Sprint-related, is to learn more about distutils and packaging.

Did you ever manage to view the task spreadsheet?
