Hi Daniel,

The work you did here is indeed excellent. The only trouble I have with =
it is that most people cannot use a mouse or trackball or touch pad to =
create a signature that looks anything like their signature. [This is =
the same issue I have with voting machines that verify voters' =
signatures against touch pad/mouse signatures.]

That said, I have no issue if you would like to update the official web =
page with instructions on how to use this tool. =
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#submitting

If you can update the tool to allow the user to sign electronically (and =
to upload their public key) it will get my enthusiastic support.

Regards,

Craig
