Contribute to the development of the cryptopals.org.
cryptopals.org helps people find friends to send encrypted email to, so they can practice the discipline and contribute to cultures of privacy. It is a friendly effort to support and expand the base of ordinary email encryptors.
It is a side-project, so I am seeking development assistance to make it serve people better. If you have any ideas, suggestions or pull requests inspired by the basic feature wish-list to-do below, please get involved!
The site is a simple, Django-based fork of (https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django)[https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django]. Proficient Django users would make light work of the wish list. I include the README from that project (below) as well as information specific to the cryptopals fork.
- install virtualbox
- install vagrant (easy VM machine config)
#!bash
git clone https://mguy@bitbucket.org/mguy/cryptopals-public.git

vagrant up --provision
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant/cryptopals
export WORKON_HOME=/vagrant/Envs

# SECRET_KEY dev use only
export SECRET_KEY="8974hnetdkenad90d239(039289r0wfndwidoknsncoNDNd"
mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME

Find a way to unintrusively check that users are responsive to (encrypted) emails from prospective penpals
