Status:
-- Namecoin integration
===> This integration is what enables OT credentials to entirely ditch the legacy Certificate Authorities, and still be revokable.
===> As of last night, our contributor randy-waterhouse has come up with the scheme we are going to use, which will allow for expiration, revocation, multiple credentials, etc.
===> Here is the scheme, if anyone has feedback: http://opentransactions.org/forum/index.php?topic=10.msg40#msg40
===> We are tracking this sub-task here: http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130607042737932000&ident=M100V131&chksum=6dd7acda
-- Systray GUI with OT integration
-- Markets UI
-- HTTP Interface
===> Xenland is coding this as we speak; he's been working on it for several weeks now.
===> He has a working QT systray app, and he has OT building inside it.
===> He is not done adding the OT functionality, but some of the menu items are working already.
===> Track his progress here: https://github.com/Xenland/Moneychanger
-- Integration with legacy banking
===> This sub-task is posted here: http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130608221956480000&ident=M100V131&chksum=e257f8e6
===> We will probably not start this until the Bitmessage integration is well-underway.
===> We are hoping to take advantage of the work accomplished in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=173220.0;all
-- Bitcoin integration (multi-sig)
===> Work on this will probably not commence until the basic UI is finished.
===> However, there's no reason why this couldn't be coded now, if someone wants to bid on it: http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130607042534492000&ident=M100V131&chksum=45d04220
-- Bitmessage integration
===> Work on this will probably not commence until the basic UI is finished.
===> Bitmessage project have already added the necessary changes on their side.
===> If someone wants to bid on this now, work can start immediately: http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130607042614187000&ident=M100V131&chksum=f0373e43
-- Colored coins integration
===> I don't think the colored coins guys are ready for this. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) We're waiting to hear from them on the best API for us to use.
===> Whenever they are ready, there's a bounty waiting to be collected: http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130607042635688000&ident=M100V131&chksum=649becfd
-- Internationalization.
===> becoin has contributed 5 BTC towards internationalization, so we added this subtask: http://ciyam.org/open/?cmd=view&data=20130627012452184000&ident=M100V131&chksum=7a036860
===> No one has bid on this so far.
Any update on this? @fellowtraveler when do you think there will be a need for the first testers? I am only so impatient because it is so exiting.
Once we reach the point where internationalization is implemented, I would be glad to work on the German translation.
