 Next-Steps Monkeysphere Projects:
 ---------------------------------
 
-Handle unknown hosts in such a way that they're not always removed
-   from known_hosts file.  Ask user to lsign the host key?
+Detail advantages of monkeysphere: detail the race conditions in ssh,
+   and how the monkeysphere can help you reduce these threat vectors:
+   threat model reduction diagrams.
+
+Handle unverified monkeysphere hosts in such a way that they're not
+   always removed from known_hosts file.  Ask user to lsign the host
+   key?
 
 Handle multiple hostnames (multiple user IDs?) when generating host
    keys with gen-key.
 
+Work out the details (and describe a full use case) for assigning a
+   REVOKER during monkeysphere-server gen_key -- how is this set?  How
+   do we export it so it's available when a second-party revocation is
+   needed?
+
+Actually enable server hostkey publication.
+
+Streamline host key generation, publication, verification.  See
+   doc/george/host-key-publication for what dkg went through on
+   2008-06-19
+
+Ensure that authorized_user_ids are under as tight control as ssh
+   expects from authorized_keys: we don't want monkeysphere to be a
+   weak link in the filesystem.
+
+Consider the default permissions for
+   /var/lib/monkeysphere/authorized_keys/* (and indeed the whole
+   directory path leading up to that)
+
 Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.

 File bug against ssh-keygen to see if we can get it to write to hash a

-Note all threat model reductions (with diagrams).
+When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
+   revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
 
-Add environment variables sections to man pages.
+File bug against seahorse about how, when creating new primary keys,

-Environment variable scoping.
+File bug against enigmail about lack of ability to create subkeys.
 
-Move environment variable precedence before conf file.
+Test and document what happens when any filesystem that the
+   monkeysphere-server relies on and modifies (/tmp, /etc, and /var?)
+   fills up.
 
-Handle lockfiles when modifying known_hosts or authorized_keys.
+Optimize keyserver access, particularly on monkeysphere-server
+   update-users -- is there a way to query the keyserver all in a
+   chunk?
 
-When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
-   revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
+Create DSA authentication subkey for server during gen-key
+
+Fix behavior when add-identity-certifier fails to fetch a key from the
+   keyserver.
 
-Update monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand man page with new keyserver
-   checking policy info.
+Allow server administrators to add-identity-certifier from a key in
+   the filesystem (or on stdin, etc)
 
-Update monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand man page with info about
-   no-connect option.
+Add "monkeysphere-server diagnostics" subcommand to identify missing
+   pieces of monkeysphere server administration setup.
