Status Report for Ocamlnet
==========================

Date: 10/07/2001

Accomplishments:

  - CGI modules: Many test cases have been written and everything is
    looking good. (Gerd)

    We need volunteers to write simple examples (~50 lines or so) and
    to test with real clients for compatibility issues.

  - Netmessage/Netaddress: Started design of new module to represent
    Internet messages and e-mail addresses. (Patrick/Gerd)

  - Established internal package structure for various protocols. New
    CGI modules are now under src/cgi. (Gerd)

Assigned Tasks:

  - CGI modules: Complete testing effort for initial release. (Gerd)

  - Netmessage/Netaddress: Continue design discussions. (Patrick/Gerd)

  - POP: Implement POP3 client-side protocol. (Patrick)

Unassigned Tasks:

  - Netchannels: Integrate use of Netchannels throughout the Netstring
    library.  For example, Netbuffer and Netstream should both have
    object interfaces that satisfy the Netchannel types.

  - Date/Time Functions: Consider modifications needed to support
    internationalization.

  - Mailbox parser: New module to read mailbox formats. Initial version
    should at least include support for Unix-style mailboxes.
