Thanks for your offer. You are wellcome. Try to get familiar with the
project by reading the mailling-list archive and looking into the
bugreports. If you want to help you can download the current SVN sources
and look into them and propose patches. You don't need to be a Debian
developper for now. We could give you a SVN login, if the time comes and
you have to submit your own changes.

At the moment, most of the work is done by Kurt (thank you Kurt!)
because I really have limitted time these weeks. I hope this will change
again.

If you have any ideas how to improve the OpenSSL package, please let us
know.

Christoph

BTW: I am on holiday for the next two weeks.
