 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.
+
+Determine how openssh handles multiple processes writing to
+   known_hosts/authorized_keys files (lockfile, atomic appends?)
+
+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
+
+Streamline authorized_user_ids setup (including question of where
+   authorized_user_ids files should go).  See
+   doc/george/user-id-configuration 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.
+
 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).
-
 Add environment variables sections to man pages.
 
 Environment variable scoping.
 
 Move environment variable precedence before conf file.
 
-Handle lockfiles when modifying known_hosts or authorized_keys.
-
 When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
    revoked, then output loud warning with prompt, or fail hard.
