Re: Confusion About MOSS

I'm somewhat confused.  Sometime back, I thought that the pem-dev list had
been transferred to a MOSS list.

As far as I know there isn't any separate list for MOSS. Even if there
was it would not be appropriate to discuss MOSS anywhere else since MOSS
is a product of the PEM-DEV group and this is the group's official list.

Yet, I am not seeing any discussion of
MOSS.  What has happened?

What has happened is that MOSS has been completed. It, along with the
security multiparts scheme, have been approved as a proposed standard. The
associated RFCs should be published soon -- the necessary material is already
in the hands of the RFC Editor.

Is it possible that MOSS does grow on a rolling
stone?

What is happening now is that people are busy implementing MOSS. It is very
normal for lists to go quiet while this happens -- discussion only starts if a
problem is found in the specification. It isn't a simple beast so I expect it
to be some time before multiple implementations are completed and available.
