Yeah, unfortunately I've not devoted nearly as much time over the past
few months to this as it deserves, and I'm trying to use our
(OpenDNS's) announcement as motivation to actually get something
usable out the door.

In particular, I have a few projects in mind that I'm trying to figure
out how to best prioritize:

  1. Finish and release the DNSCurve forwarder prototype / reference
implementation
  2. Add native authoritative DNSCurve support to tinydns
  3. Write a simple (i.e., slow) but easy to comprehend (e.g.,
Python?) implementation to help people understand and test DNSCurve
  4. Write a library to make it easier to integrate DNSCurve support
into existing DNS software (e.g., decoding and encoding packets,
recognizing encoded DNSCurve public keys)
