Re: [Handle-info] hsj 8 challenge response "Authentication via Authorization: Handle" via HS_PUBKEY python example.

[Scott Prater <scott.prater@wisc.edu>]

Is there a spot on the CNRI website where we, others, could upload code 
we've made to use the handle API, or link to our projects that include 
API tools?

I imagine that many, if not most, handle maintainers will be interested 
sooner or later in availing themselves of the API.
