Hi all

Funding is all very well, and +1 for the initiative!

But first we'll need to find developers who are willing to take up the task.

Is there anyone interested in implementing this (immensely important, believe
me!) feature? Can we spur his or her interest with money? 

Or can we say that allowing this functionality to exist in one closed-source
vendor's application alone is tantamount to having your passports checked at
the border by a representative of a commercial enterprise, who does not tell
you by what criteria it checks the document, bit still is entitled to deny you
admission?

We did a fundraiser (http://wilhelmtux.ch/?MID=11&PID=96) recently for
finishing the implementation of the *signing* part in LibreOffice, which is
also in C++ and uses Mozilla NSS. So maybe some of the code can be reused. Most
of the original code should be available here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9c8dc01d3a40ec905c9d816c733ceb5d621e0426

Search by author should also work:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?qt=author&q=eraslan

As this is still work in progress, please follow
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83940 for updates.
