I've got a v.v.brief one: http://gnupg.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/#attachments It's just why I use gnupg rather than a treatise on why someone else should use it. It is GFDL. There's also general stuff here: http://www.dclug.org.uk/linux_adm/gnupg.html Elements of each could be combined - the FAQ isn't expressly GFDL but if it's used for GFDL material I would have no objection. If that work is sent back to me, I would also be v.happy to publish it as part of the first site, under the GFDL. :-) Don't worry about the HTML, a plain text version crafted from these and other sources would be fine - as long as it can go under the GFDL. > Do you have to be a Linux user to join a LUG? No, you just have to be interested in GNU type stuff - and in most LUG's GnuPG qualifies as relevant. > Several people who I've tried to get using OpenPGP just "don't get it" > because it's "too hard to integrate with (email client, usually > Mail.app)" and have gone for Thawte X.509 certificates instead.

The resistance is not against gnupg itself but against the change of email client / problems with the existing client. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
