All,

 	Over the past several months a colleague at a university and 
myself have revived work on the WU-FTPD daemon.  Through researching the 
various RFCs and such, it's become apparent that there are a small number 
of drafts as well as a potential number of others that could significantly
contribute to the protocol.  (So my voyage has gone from operator, 
developer and implementor to protocol spec.)  But, ftpext wound-up and it 
seems there's no specific venue to flesh these out amongst like-minded 
FTP people.

 	I suppose what I'm looking for from the Apps Area folk is to test 
the waters on establishing a BoF (if I have read the Apps website 
correctly) that will lead to establishing some kind of group that will 
further the possible work remaining or possibly poending to be done, or 
not.  Discussions amongst a couple of authors of long-expired drafts seem 
to favour some kind of venue.

Thanks,

wfms
