RE: [xri] Thoughts on the XRD Signing Method

["Drummond Reed" <drummond.reed@cordance.net>]

Nika, you rock! By all means, please coordinate with Will and make exactly
the tool you think the community needs (I looked at Will's example of the
EAUT tool and it was great).

I also encourage you to hook up with Markus as he does outstanding developer
education/testing tools like this too - take a look at the suite of XDI
education utilities he's done using XDI4J:

We will shower blessings upon all of you (and make you XRD rock stars!)

Have a great weekend,
