Dear all, about two weeks ago I wrote a post, similar to the one Alexander Willner just wrote. And a few people thought the same way. Since I'm not a developer and I don't know anything about the differences between sourceforge/Github/googlecode and can't tell the differnce between a fork and a port etc I think I would have caused more damage than done good to the project. That's why I can't take the leadership for setting up a proper place for GPG Mail plugin.
Alexander Willner, if you have the time to do this, I think everybody would apreaciate it if you would make this move. Although much work can be split up (e.g. Lukas did the main programming and porting to 10.6, I remember Charly Avital once had some nice tutorials on how to setup ev.th.) there has to be a point where everything comes together or else this technology won't be able to spread and the work remains know to only some members of this mailing-list (which is a great thing to have - but just not enough). The steps that have to be taken are quite obvious: - Setup a proper place for GPG Mail - Delete duplicate functionality sites (or setup a link to the main place and delete all other information) - get rid of the dropbox distribution ;) - make sente.ch update his site (even though this would possible mean to take out GPG Mail from there, since he hasn't posted any news or updates for over a year now) I'd be willing to do some of that, as far as my capabilities go (e.g. I could get in touch with sente and do that part). Any volunteers? Cheers to all keeping this alive and kicking! k.
