How about a key exchange event?
Who else has a PGP/GPG key ? I have, anyone not have one ?

I am interested in getting these keys to run in a variety of environments
with different MUAs. It works for me using mutt on Linux, I know that it also
works using thunderbird.

It would be nice to put forward some simple instructions for people
on how to:

1) generate a key
2) upload it to the key server
3) verify/sign someone else's key
4) send/receive encrypted/signed email

Seems like a worthwhile & not too hard project. I'm also interested in
people who use MS Windows and various webmail.

I don't use twitter -- can't see the point, email works for me.

Looks fine to me.

I just tried to login, I have a password recorded - but not a username.
Can someone check if I am registered & if so what username, else I will
register.
