Hmm, here are my ideas: -integrate enigmail into TB. -When a user starts TB the first time, query gpg key servers for the name the user specified. If name is found, ask if he wants to import his (previous existing) keys. Else create a new one, with easy dialogs and helpful error messages -when the user writes to someone, query the gpg key servers to see if the recipient has a key there and either query the sender if he wants to encrypt or look up a "general setting" field if it should always be done -Integrate weave into TB. Can't the same keys be used there for encryption of the config data? -Use win key store on win. Both FF and TB. If a hw token is found ask the user if he wants to utilize it. -work together with gnome and kde folks, I just read that the work on a common key infrastructure (http://www.golem.de/0907/68458.html, sorry, german only) -work together with opensc folks. -generally: useful and correct error messages!! How about these ideas?
