Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the silc-server source package. This review will last from Saturday, October 06, 2007 to Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Description: server for the SILC protocol
SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a network protocol designed
to provide end-to-end security for conferencing services. SILC provides a
command set and a user interface similar to IRC, but the network
protocol is completely different as it supports public key strong
cryptography and a different network model.
.
This package provides a system daemon that can act as a SILC router or
server.
