Sam is preparing the campaign and twittering on https://twitter.com/gnupg . This campaign will be about a better website and easier accessible information on GnuPG. Sam already has some sketches for the new website for example https://twitter.com/gnupg/status/408611650887905280 GnuPG has for too long been a tool like a sendmail/exim/postfix but deserves more user attention. This is what we want to change. In the course of the preparation, Sam convinced be that we need Twitter and even web site statistics. I have done the latter only the first two years of running GnuPG but stopped that for privacy reasons. Now we installed Piwik and people with JS enabled are tracked by us. Of course this is pseudo-anonymized and we won't hand out the raw data to anyone outside of g10 code. Piwik gives some interesting insights, for example most direct visits to gpg4win.org come from gnupg.org. Aside from the usual Google triggered visits, lifehacker.com and philzimmermann.com are top listed referrers for gnupg.org. gnupg.org has 2000 to 3000 visits a day, gpg4win.org 1500 to 2500.

Related: A month or so ago, a post on the GnuPG blog mentioned a crowd-funding campaign that was to be launched "in early December". Details were scarce, however. This sounds like perfect timing; perhaps either Sam or Werner can provide us with an update on the campaign?
