Emboldened by this success, we have a few other packages with which we'd like to do the same: * randomĀ We've had some truly excellent work done over the last couple of years on how to deal with "splitting" a random number generator in a cryptographically sound manner. I spent some time cleaning up a few outstanding issues for this package personally over the summer, but have not had nearly enough time to devote to the issue of how to integrate the outcome of the recent research on splitting, while simultaneously caring about performance and soundness.
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring and become a co-maintainer also. I use random numbers a lot for various Monte Carlo simulations.
