Robert-

Now it's my time to be sorry for the delay.  Being sick when a lot of school 
projects and stuff going on at work really makes me just wanna go straight to 
bed as soon as I get home.  After 8 weeks of being sick, I think I'm better;  
no sore throat today.

I have a simple question about POSIX.1e  I saw the link to download the 
withdrawn draft.  Is there actually a standard from IEEE that was accepted 
regarding this?

I'm assuming this will be posted on the TrustedBSD mailing list, correct?

Yes, I would be very interesting in assisting with this as soon as the 
framework is set up to build upon.  Do you know of any time-frame on this 
though?  Summer is coming up in a few weeks for me and I wanted to get going 
on a personal project and working on FreeBSD, but TrustedBSD seems to be the 
area that I should focus on by reviewing the documentation I've seen about 
it.  I look forward to contributing to this, and would enjoy starting on 
anything that you guys need help with.  Well, starting in two weeks from now. 
 Just let me know how I can contribute most effectively at this moment.
