Is this list still active? AKA e164.org updates

[Duane <duane@e164.org>]

I know how much some people love our (ab)use of dns in building up the
feature set on e164.org and the fun continues due to popular demand
requests to expand the service to include non-URI based records available.

So far we've added a GPG record type to allow people to store 1 or more
GPG fingerprint against their phone number, I'm in the middle of the
best way of doing this for PKI as well, and potentially could be used as
a way to encrypt phone calls without requiring the client to send a
certificate on hand shaking, which could be more easily intercepted.

Next we've added the ability for people to list physical addresses in
DNS via an x.500 style /CN=/STREET=/ST=/C=/PC= which seems to be working
nicely as well.

A couple of previous changes allows people to list their website URL
(which has existed since the service was started) but I've also done a
quick lookup script which was integrated via the search engine feature
of firefox to make this process a little more seamless to the end user.
I plan to make another script that resembles a whois type lookup service
to display any enum information in a more meaningful way, although
ideally it would be nice to have a plugin for thunderbird and other
email applications so a phone number can be used instead of an email
address, and then the client simple converts the phone number to be
TO/CC fields if multiple addresses exist.

With the help of a couple of multi-lingual people we've been able to
make headway in converting the website to be available in German and
Italian and I'm hoping as we find other willing and able to help they
translate it into their own languages. What I'm most interested in is
finding the audio files of numbers in multiple languages so people are
able to hear the pin numbers we phone out to them in their own languages
as a number of people have contacted us about not being able to
understand the default asterisk sounds.
