OK, I finally begun adding PGP support to Jabbernaut (don't hold your
breath, it'll take some time to finish, as I'm really busy moving &
beginning to study & having a real life <g>)
Anyway, what I really want to know:
* what clients already implement PGP / the various namespaces for it
(x:signed and x:encrypted IIRC) ? I know Imjay and KIM so far, are
there others?
* how am I supposed to get the key of the guy I'm talking to? I know
Imjay tries to get it from the vCard. And I also thought about using
the jabber ID like an email (in the MacOS PGP SDK I can get a key
based on the email).
We really should agree on some sort of (semi-)standard. It doesn't
have to be a full-fledged standard, but at least some guidlines for
client authors...
Bye,
Max
