* Updated TODO.
* The entirety of the old TODO has been replaced with either more
  relevant tasks or goals for the examples and a more measured
  approach to the docs and why, in this project, Org Mode trumps reST,
  even though it's Python through and through.

Stuff To Do

TODO

Working examples

The old GUI examples were unable to be retained since they depended on GTK2 and Python 2's integration with GTK2.

Current GPGME examples so far only include command line tools or basic Python code for use with either Python 2.7 or Python 3.4 and above.

Future GUI examples ought to utilise available GUI modules and libraries supported by Python 3. This may include Qt frameworks, Tkinter, GTK3 or something else entirely.

Documentation

The legacy documentation which no longer applies to the Python bindings has been removed.

Current and future documentation will adhere to the GnuPG standard of using Org Mode and not use the reST more commonly associated with Python documentation. The reasons for this are that this project is best served as shipping with the rest of GPGME and the documentation ought to match that. Furthermore, there are aspects of Org Mode's publishing features which are superior to the defaults of reST, including the capacity to generate fully validating strict XHTML output.

If reST files are required at a later point for future inclusion with other Python packages, then that format can be generated from the .org files with Pandoc before being leveraged by either Docutils, Sphinx or something else.

While there are some advanced typesetting features of reST which are not directly available to Org Mode, more often than not those features are best implemented with either HTML and CSS, with LaTeX to produce a PDF or via a number of XML solutions. Both reST and Org Mode have multiple paths by which to achieve all of these.
