Hi Jonathan, nice, thanks for investing time and effort into this. Such utilities are needed for serious applications. Some thoughts and questions:
1. What is the mid-term or long-term plan regarding collaboration? Will you be able to step in as maintainer? 2. As it already seems to be authored by several people and contains functionality of general interest it should be considered to move it to a central community place like https://github.com/pharo-contributions[https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Cryptography]/ where several people from community have already access. It would then be in alignment with https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Cryptography[https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Cryptography] too and maintenance of contributions as well as releases could be done from different sides and more centrally. You and anyone can then regulary fork from the community repo to an own (customized) repo like https://github.com/objectguild/Crypto-Nacl I guess Esteban can add you as contributor to "pharo-contribution" organization if you follow that path. 3. I guess LICENSE file need to be updated to give additionall credit to the original authors or mention more general "Pharo community" (currently it mentions Object Guild solely) 4. Can it be changed to use "NaCl" instead of "Nacl" which is more suitable name for Sodium (a similar name fixing was done in the Cuis port too) 5. Would it be possible to add some expressions/samples or docu in the README for end users on how to use it. This would give people a quick guide on how to do things. 6. Any plans for making it work on Windows too? Thanks Torsten Gesendet: Montag, 31.

See the README for more details. Libsodium has evolved a lot over time, which means that there is plenty of additional functionality that can be unlocked through this library. I don't have a need for it at the moment, but that might change in the near future. My interest is in using the cryptographic features to enhance security of business applications. Oh, and thanks to the Buenos Aires Smalltalk team (https://github.com/ba-st/[https://github.com/ba-st/]) for inspiration on using GitHub Actions with smalltalkCI :-) Cheers, Jonathan van Alteren Founding Member | Object Guild B.V.
