Pamela Project:
The Pamela Project is a grassroots organization dedicated to providing community support for both technical and non-technical web users and administrators who wish to use or deploy information card technologies. We hope to make it easier for people of all skill levels to understand and use this technology. Overall, the goal is to hasten adoption, lessen frustration, and improve the overall quality of information card Relying Party deployments on the internet.

The Pamela Project has been set up to:
Champion open source relying party code development and integration for information card technologies.
Foster evolutionary integration with existing web-based products & services.
Create & assist in architecting code that is user-friendly, secure, and ready for mass-adoption (not just proof-of-concept).
Support and encourage not just developers, but non-technical end users and web masters to deploy and use these technologies.
