Re: committing fraud with credentials

Since I announced this effort to attack the problem of credential fraud in
a methodical way, I've had numerous people ask how they can help or
participate. I've also learned about some efforts spinning up in other
places. It's a little bit challenging to draw all the disparate threads
together. I thought it would be useful to at least create a mailing list
where the conversation could take place publicly, with an archive. So I've
done that: credential-fraud-study@googlegroups.com. Feel free to join the
group or pass its address along to colleagues that you think would be
interested.

If we get some meaningful momentum, perhaps the CCG would like to be more
formally involved. Let's see what headway we start to make.
