[Tomasz Matecki <to...@miracl.com>]

Thank you

Milagro Project (incubating)



Distributed Cryptography;

M-Pin and other pairing protocols for Identity and Trust

Milagro has been incubating since 2015-12-21.



Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

1. Develop MILAGRO toolbox

2. Creating full working MILAGRO ecosystem, based on MILAGRO crypto library – further research and development (IoT, blockchain, fractions etc.)

3.  Building the MILAGRO community – engaging developers and cryptographers, raising awareness and helping to secure future of internet.



Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?

We are having issues with Apache repos, and syncing two-way with Github, which becomes annoying, as developers reports. We’re facing issues in logging in to Apache Wiki page (https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/April2017 <https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/April2017> ) <https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/April2017)> - error messages are poping here and there, so it’s impossible to work directly on Apache tools (while users names and passwords, are 100% correct), we still can not access those, and we are having issues with accessing SVN.



How has the community developed since the last report?

MILAGRO community, sadly isn’t currently growing, most likely cause of technical issues, few interested folks were unable to login, so they are working directly on Github repo, while we still can not have two-way syncing with Apache account.



How has the project developed since the last report?

In past few months, MILAGRO community was focused on developing MILAGRO Crypto C Library, the most important parts were:

 - enabling the solution to use different curves at the same time

 - adding Golang wrappers for RSA and ECDSA

 - adding tests and working examples for the Golang wrappers

 - adding benchmarks

 - finally splitting the library into proper logical components





Date of last release:

n/a



When were the last committers or PMC members elected?

n/a

That's your apache ID.

The wiki ID is different.  It has to be, so that people who don't
have an Apache ID can still participate in the wiki.

I’ve created the wiki ID long time ago!!
But I was NEVER able to login, I can’t even reset my password…
Basically I can’t do anything with Apache/Wiki ID, while it doesn’t work for me…

But on the other hand it works like a charm here:
https://id.apache.org <https://id.apache.org/>

Have no idea why…,
I raise this issue number of time snow, and it was never solved…

I was sure, that you can help me with this?

Tom

This seems to be a permanent state.  You've had months and
months to create a wiki ID and get it enabled for write!

(Just checking email before going out.  I'll read it later).
