Though the whisper code is currently language inter-inoperable, the 
latest code is being hosted on gitlab with International Rabbits, as 
voix-basse-mourde. Here is the code: 
https://gitlab.com/des-lapins-internationale.

If you would like to help, Java could be brought forwards adding 
PBEReader/PBEWriter, dataEncoding negotiation, 
SecureSessionSpecification with filtered cryptoProtocolNames, 
dataEncoderNames, scopeMaker and the traceDomains to parameterize the 
server behavior. On the Smalltalk side, Whisper_json, Whisper_magma and 
Whisper_fuel could be implemented. Matching JSON on the Java side. FEC 
Reed-Solomon could be tested and repaired (it's broken).

kerkkutatti is the Java code for remote promises and has the Smalltalk 
porcini code too. With Whisper's new SecureServerSpecification, the 
injection of a scopeMaker and encoder is all the config after push into 
the stack. Lots of work there on both sides, to get them talking.

If you want to help, have a beer and I'll match you, let me know what 
you want to work on and I can add you as a gitlab rabbit.

Best,
Rob
