Welcome Frank,
It is very nice to have you here. I have been following Bruce too and have even tried a number of times to interview him for Squeak news. He has responded to me a few times but nothing worthy of quoting. Chris has been working with Practical Cryptography to try and bring some best practice coding into or packages. Thanks Chris. I will add you as a developer to the repository on squeak source, feel free to ask questions. I will follow up this email with a team update since the list has been quiet lately.
Ron Teitelbaum Cryptography Team Leader

Hi everyone,
Since this is my first post to the crypto list, I thought I'd introduce myself.
- I've been playing with Squeak (as in programming outside work) for a few
years now, and have a couple unfinished projects under my belt (*).
- I've been programming for a living for nearly ten years now, almost
entirely in Delphi, but with a smattering of REXX and the usual suspects (C++, Java, C#).
- I've been interested in crypto for a few years now, primarily from a
number theory point of view, but also from a practical point of view (that is, as someone desiring strong encryption/authentication/etc.). I'm an avid reader of Bruce Schneier's work, owning copies of most of his books, and following his blog.
Hopefully I can contribute something to this very important work!

(*) The thing of which I'm most proud, and is closest to completion, is my Image Map Editor project on SqueakSource. It's stalled because of lack of time, but I eventually intend rewriting the GUI to fit Tweak). And then there's my SIP stack, also stalled for lack of time. It doesn't help that most of my day is spent working on a SIP stack (http://www.ictrnid.org.uk/index.html?softlib.html).
