* Added a more complicated encryption example with a few variations on
the encryption method to account for untrusted recipient keys,
signing or not signing, including or excluding default keys and so
on.
* Switched from links to some external docs to using footnotes where
necessary.
* Ideally the howto should be as stand alone as possible.
* Also it makes it difficult to convert to another format for
proof-reading if there are links that the conversion can't find.
* Wrote the text description explaining each step in the most basic
encryption operation.
* Will need to include additional examples for encrypting to multiple
recipients using Context().encrypt instead of Context().op_encrypt.
* Added all four signing code examples that are most likely to be
used: armoured, clearsigned, detached armoured and detached binary.
* May remove some examples and just discuss the differences, but it
depends on the way the text is filled out.
* Added sample code for encrypting some text to a single key.
* Basically I'm just lifting existing production code and changing the
key IDs from mine to "0x12345678DEADBEEF" for these first few
examples.
* I'll fill in the text description after.
* Note: due to my regional location, I might split some tasks into
more commits in order to be sure no work gets lost in case of
emergency (or to put it another way: I know Telstra too well to
trust them).
* Added a section for those pythonistas who are too used to web
programming. Stressed that it's not simply not RESTful, it's not
even REST-like.
* Letting me move on to drawing a very loose parallel between a
session and a context. The differences should become obvious in the
subsequent sections.
* Some instructions to include are fairly obvious; as with encryption,
decryption and signature verification.
* Some are a little less obvious.
* This includes the requests received to specifically include subkey
management (adding and revoking subkeys on a primary key that's
being retained.
* Added the UID equivalents to the list, as well as key selection
matters (and may or may not include something for handling group
lines since that involves wrapping a CLI binary).
* Key control documentation and examples requested by Mike Ingle of
confidantmail.org.
* removed one bit of whitespace.
* Marked up references to gpgme.h.
* Fixed one spelling error.
* Removed py2.6 from python search order since even if it is
supported, it shouldn't be encouraged.
* Started work on the GPGME Python bindings HOWTO.
* 1,050 words to begin with at approx. 7.5KB.
* Got as far as installation.
* Includes instruction not to use PyPI for this.
* Made the copyright line a new top level org heading in order to
prevent it getting folded into other tasks which will eventually get
closed (so it doesn't go missing if those items are subsequently
archived).
* Updated TODO with tags to make everything appear properly when
exported to HTML or PDF.
* Added a couple more items, mainly to do with docs or future bindings.
* Marked some, but not all as actual TODO items.
* Some items should probably be removed, but haven't been yet.
* Some have probably been completed already.
* Added the idea for alternative Emacs bindings (to extend the
existing ones, not replace them outright).
* Added a reference to the API Squared part of the project.
* If we're going to use Org, let's actually use Org.
* Added the properties tags for each point.
* Some of thems still need custom ID tags assigned properly.
* Probably ought to make them actual TODOs at some point, but that can
wait until they can be marked as DONE anyway.
* Will add a TODO for some of this stuff ... oh, the irony.
* Set LaTeX headers to enable ligatures and a 12pt font by default.
* Paper size left for regional defaults.
* Using XeLaTeX for easier font control.
* Using default LaTeX font of Latin Main, but that's easy enough to change.
* 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.
* Removed Markdown style heading underlining.
* Removed in-line file type declaration (which is not correctly parsed
by the web interface on dev.gnupg.org).
