Sorry for the delay in reply.

There should be such a group or space. Right now it's just github, and occasional nostr threads like this.

Mostly I wanted to get a fully functional proposal as a starting point, and then draw in the community, even if my proposal was shredded and a lot of the work wasn't used, because it isn't wasteful to become very familiar with the territory. But steer me now if you think I'm off course.

I'm currently working on trying to support multiple cryptosystems at the master key level, especially so nostr events can be wrapped into Mosaic events, but also to eventually support post-quantum signature schemes. This means the signature might not be 64-bytes so I have to move it to the end of the record. Record flags will indicate the cryptosystem of the keys (master/signing). Within things like 'address' you just won't know the cryptosystem but it shouldn't matter since it's only used for signature verification. The mosaic-core code will have to deal with different kinds of keys, signatures, and restructure the record code. It's a big set of changes that I don't want to push out half-baked code (yet I already did some), but I've also not had time to devote to it recently. So anyhow, that is what is up atm.
