timeline?

["Armbrust, Daniel C." <Ar...@mayo.edu>]

Two quick timeline related questions:

How far off (roughly) is adding security to xindice?  Does anyone have
suggestions on what could be used to secure content now, until the real
security is implemented?

Does anyone have plans of fixing the disabled gzip options, and again, how
far away?  Could someone who is a newbie to the code easily fix the gzip
problems, or does it need a lot of work to make it work correctly?

Thanks, 

Dan

I think we'll have very primitive security in 1.1. Unfortunately, no one 
is currently working on anything more in depth so we definitely need help 
here.

For now you have to use a firewall to protect it.

There aren't any plans to fix it. Tom is the only person who knows any 
details about why it doesn't work. All I know is that it caused corruption 
at times when we used it.
