OpenJDK-TLS Manual: (Second) call for contributions

I've written an OpenJDK-TLS manual, intended to ease readers into the most
recent TLS specification and OpenJDK's implementation. (At the very least,
it helped me get to grips with the spec and the code!) I've made the manual
available on GitHub (https://github.com/BenSmyth/tls-tutorial/) and a pdf
is also available:

   https://bensmyth.com/files/Smyth19-TLS-tutorial.pdf

I hope the manual will help you too.

I'm far from perfect and I'm sure the manuscript has numerous deficiencies.
Interesting aspects are omitted, because I didn't have the time, knowledge,
or expertise to add them. In particular, my coverage of OpenJDK could be
substantially improved and extended. I encourage you to improve the
manuscript. Fix a typo. Patch grammar. Revise awkward, overcomplicated, or
otherwise poorly-written passages, and correct my outright mistakes.
Contribute an entire section, there's certainly a lot of scope regarding
OpenJDK. Help evolve the manual. (Perhaps get in touch prior to writing an
entire section! We should probably reach consensus on what to add.)
Contributions will be recognised through acknowledgements or co-authorship.


Best regards,

Ben
