Re: Fwd: [widgets] New WD of Widgets 1.0: Digital Signatures spec published on March 31

Hi Art,
Thanks for reaching out to OpenAjax Alliance, but most likely we will not
be providing feedback on the Digital Signatures spec. We haven't done
anything at OAA around digsigs. I send email to our Security committee, but
I don't expect any response. Personally, I have just general knowledge
about digsigs and haven't been following the detailed discussion in the
WebApps WG about digsigs.

Incidentally, keep up the great work!

Jon
