[gentoo-keys] Fwd: Gentoo Keys -- introductory report

[Pavlos Ratis]

Hello,

This year I've been accepted for Google Summer of Code 2014 with
Gentoo Foundation for the  Gentoo Keys project and my mentor will be
Brian Dolbec(dol-sen)[1]. As I mentioned in my previous email[2] I am
going to work on improving and expanding the features of Gentoo Keys.

Gentoo Keys is a Python based project that aims to manage the GPG
keys used for validation on users and Gentoo's infrastructure
servers. These keys will be any/all of the release keys, developer keys
and any other third party keys or keyrings available or needed.

Plans for this week:
 - Switch the current seed files format to JSON.
 - Create functions for keys remove/move/update operations.
 - Provide some improvements and fixes in the current implemented code.
