in my experience, people getting together with some handy hackers can learn how to use gpg in their email with no special difficulty,
Would it be possible to create standard like FIDO U2F ?: Maybe it's possible to use existing HSM standards ?
User speaking, what about a FreedomBox Privacy School. What about gathering "QualityAssurance", "Design" and add "First Time Access / Learning curve Experience" under a common "User Experience" focus ?
The problem with free software doers and random first-timers is cultural. It deals with the notion of time for a product to take root and to be familiar. At Debian, this is particularly true. It is all right with amateurs willing to fight with themselves, it is not ok with customers.
It differs from one country to another, but "Customers" are used to no brainer products, "Professionals" are willing to take time to handle a feature rich product with a primary strong knowledge and sometimes premium support, "Amateurs" are willing to learn with few primary knowdelge backed by a community support. I guess FreedomBox aims traditionnaly Amateurs as a freesoftware and will have to deal with Customers as a plug and play product on a paid hardware.
"User Experience" can bring together amateurs and customers with a community support (highlighted links to amateur oriented discussion tools), a strong link/partnership with some hardware professional customer services and a so called "School" to tansform complexity into gamification or education.
You can get intentionally a no brainer and very complex product under a same flag. Photography products are doing just that.
