[Owasp-board] FW: REQUEST FOR COMMENTS/RE: Final push to complete Summer of Code's deliveries.

Thu Feb 19 17:43:03 UTC 2009

Hi Committee,

As I've said below, I am prepared to trigger this project's http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_OpenSign_Server_Project payment process as soon as Phil updates the user documentation. Is that ok?

Many thanks, 

Paulo Coimbra,
OWASP Project Manager
