Conflict with Phabricator files
* The developers of Phabricator, the web front-end on dev.gnupg.org have not implemented renderers for Markdown, Org-Mode or any other common markdown like language. * They also refuse to do so. * Instead they re-invented the wheel and implemented their own version of Markdown-like thing which is incompatible with everything else. It is called Remarkup. * The developers of Phabricator and Remarkup have refused to provide conversion tools to move files to/from any format to/from Remarkup. * They expect everyone to learn their new favourite pet project. * Remarkup may or may not display Org Mode files, but if so then it is likely to only want to do so as plain text. * There is an unaffiliated and unofficial project to convert Github Markdown to Remarkup via Pandoc. This might be adapted for our use, but requires testing. * Until then exporting from Org Mode to UTF-8 text is likely the least worst plan. * Which means renaming this file to README.org first.

-#+TITLE gpg - GPGME bindings for Python
-
-
-The "gpg" module is a python interface to the GPGME library:
-https://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/
-
-"gpg" offers two interfaces, one is a high-level, curated, and
-idiomatic interface that is implemented as a shim on top of the
-low-level interface automatically created using SWIG.
-
-This way we make simple things easy, while still providing the entire
-functionality of the underlying library.
