Official Project Agenda

The SPF project agenda currently consists of the following items in order of priority:

1. Get SPFv1 published as an RFC
2. Review and move content from the old to the new website and try to make the new website sufficiently complete that the old site can be archived
3. Coordinate and drive the creation of an implementation-independent test suite
4. Nice empty spot for other cool things..
5. MTA support:
   • Maintain lists of MTA plugins and direct MTA functionality. There are lots of sendmail milters, but postfix and qmail support is scarce.
   • Push for plugins or nonpluging inclusion of SPF functinality, in situations where neither exist.
