GPG guide/Public Review

Welcome, and thanks for offering to try out the FSF's draft guide to email encryption

Instructions

Follow the draft guide to using GnuPG. **Please don't edit any of the pages except this one.** It's still in development, so it may be missing bits or have parts that say "coming soon."

Please leave your feedback as bullets in the feedback section. Make sure to include: what step your feedback refers to (unless it's more general), how experienced you are with GPG, and what operating system you are using.

For example:

• I couldn't find the "Key Management" menu item mentioned in step 3 of section 2. I'm using Windows 8 and I've used GPG a little bit before. Zakkai 18:30, 22 May 2014 (EDT)

If you find that someone else has already said what you want to say, just add your name after theirs.

When you are done, please, make a note here of your username and how far you got by typing four consecutive tildes in a bullet on a new line in the contributors section. Semantic MediaWiki will automatically insert your username.

Contributors

We'd love to give you credit for your work. If you'd like to be attributed in the final version of the guide, please send an email to campaigns@fsf.org with the name you'd like to be attributed with and your username on this Wiki, so that we can verify your contribution.

• Zakkai 16:33, 22 May 2014 (EDT) did the whole guide (wrote it, in fact)

Feedback

• Please provide a more detailed explanation of the web of trust. I think it would help if there were some drawings or graphs to help teach the concept. I'm an experienced GnuPG user running Debian. Kojakr 18:20, 23 May 2014 (EDT)

• I'm concerned that the Windows workflow might not work well. I hope lots of people test this on Windows. I'm an intermediate GnuPG user running Trisquel GNU/Linux. Zakkai 18:17, 23 May 2014 (EDT)
