Hi Travis,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Someone will need to step up and lead the project. Is that you? =)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Personally, I’m hoping that the structure of the Swift Package Manager will really encourage people to create new frameworks, and give them the tools they need to distribute for use by many developers. That will be a great incubation area for
these kinds of ideas.</div>

Hi Travis,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think the best path for projects to become part of the corelibs “umbrella” is to start them off as community-driven, and once they have gained enough momentum we should consider folding them into the core distribution.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This provides a lot of key benefits. Most importantly, the new project will have clear ownership and responsibility. We need to make sure that the right people are there to represent its interests to the larger Swift effort. Also, we’ll know who
to talk to to deal with general issues like keeping it up to date with language changes, integrating it with CI, considering API changes, etc.</div>

<div class="">I would like to propose that basic crypto be part of the core libraries of swift. It seems a large oversight that this isn’t a core part of the runtime. Many if not all modern languages provide the ability to perform hashing, encryption, certificates,
etc. out of the box. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I believe that any serious app developer should be encrypting their customer’s data client side; and with the Swift runtime today, I cannot write a pure Swift app without having to resort to bridging into the CommonCrypto C library. While this
works, in my view, this is a hack used to bridge the gap of missing functionality. I also don’t think developers should be using libraries they find out on Github or other places. While the developers of those projects may have the best of intentions, I think
it best that functionality of this sort come from the language runtime itself, that is part of the core libraries out of the box.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As Swift looks to move beyond just iOS/OS X, crypto will become an ever increasingly important aspect of the core libraries such AES and RSA encryption, HMAC SHA1/256 hashing, etc.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you,</div>
