Topic: There is no documentation at site :/

Hi all,
     I searched the whole site and there is no documentation about how the plug-in works. It would be good to have screenshots and things like what signing would do, for e.g. if I want to sign something in gmail, it shows me the the private key in cleartext in another window, it sometimes asks me for the password for the private key,  no idea if the sign done is of the public key or not, although logic says it should.
     I can't stress it enough, either please put documentation or put up a public wiki which the users of the forum can be authenticated & hence use to atleast give some idea to the level they understand which would give the developers more time to develop more features & see bugs than people asking for info.

Comments, suggestions, flames all welcome.

If you want to know how Gpg/Pgp work, use google... there are a lot of good websites for explain better that us.


And for doc about FireGPG, why not ? I will see with Asher...

Re: There is no documentation at site :/

I think the main thing you need to say is that FireGPG does only INLINE, although I believe I was able to decrypt one OpenPGP/MIME encrypted message sent from a POP mail account.  I have not been able to repeat that feat though.  Maybe I confused the Thunderbird window with the Firefox window (they do look very similar) because at the time I was VERY tired. I have four WebMail accounts (for testing various things) and two pop mail accounts and have been testing this plug-in extensivle using only my own key.  I really do think you need to say you are using INLINE.  It took me a while to deduce that.

Other than that, I don't feel any burning need for documentation, and I must confess I can't understand you saying that Yahoo and HotMail aren't supported.  Just because there isn't a button, all people need to do is select the text and use the Tools -> FireGPG options of encrypt  or verify in going through those two WebMail programs.  AOL will NOT work with FireGPG.  They bring up that panel / window making it impossible to get to the menus. But if somebody is using Evolution for their POP mail account (it is the default MUA for IMAP & POP mail on Ubuntu Linux), they won't know why the two won't interoperate.  People need to be told that the POP person will need to use INLINE.  But I do feel that your major thrust needs to be for Windows.  One person told me that they needed WinPT.  I don't think that is necessary, but it is necessary to tell them how to add the ";%ProgramFiles\GNU\GnuPG" folder to the path to be sure gpg.exe can execute.

Good JOB!
