-[[!meta title="Plans for The Golden Bezoar"]]
-
-A workday with several Monkeysphere contributors on 2009-01-31
-resulted in a significant reorganization of the project in several
-areas, primarily driven by the realization that there are two
-fundamentally different concepts on the server side: 
-
-* publishing host keys via the Web-of-Trust (WoT), and
-* authenticating users via the WoT.
-
-For simplicity and clarity, those two concepts should be independent
-from each other, but earlier releases of the Monkeysphere tangled the
-two up together more than we probably should have.
-
-So the next release, version 0.23 (a.k.a. *The Golden Bezoar*) will
-have the following significant changes:
-
-* __user interface__: `/usr/sbin/monkeysphere-server` is no more, and
-  its functionality will be split out into
-  `/usr/sbin/monkeysphere-host` (for functionality dealing with
-  publishing the ssh host key through the WoT) and
-  `/usr/sbin/monkeysphere-authentication` (for functionality dealing
-  with authenticating users via the
-  WoT). `/usr/bin/monkeysphere-ssh-proxycommand` has been folded into
-  `/usr/bin/monkeysphere` itself as a new subcommand.
-
-* __code__: the subfunctions are now stored in their own separate
-  files, and sourced as-needed by the three top-level commands.  The
-  test suite has also been re-written to reflect the above UI changes.
-
-* __documentation__: in addition to making the man pages reflect the
-  above UI changes, we're rewriting the "getting started"
-  [documentation](/doc/) to use the conceptually-cleaner distinctions
-  above.
-
-* __data storage__: `/var/lib/monkeysphere` itself has been
-  re-organized with the aim of keeping the host/authentication
-  distinction clear, simplifying the internal use of `gpg`, and
-  facilitating privilege-separated access.
-
-*The Golden Bezoar* will also feature the ability to painlessly
-publish your current ssh host key to the WoT without needing to re-key
-the server.  If you're considering adopting the Monkeysphere in the
-near future, we recommend waiting for 0.23 to be released, as it
-should be conceptually clearer and easier to use.
