The Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithms project has made a generous proposal
to the Apache Software Foundation: They are looking for help in solving
part of Certicom's ECC Challenge. If they win, they will give donate $8000
of the $10000 prize to the ASF, with the remaining $2000 being divided
between the 2 volunteers who find the match (so it's $1000 each). It's a
cool challenge, a piece of cake to participate and it helps out your
favorite server.
