To all the contributors who helped in writing the documentation, please do not consider my questions regarding preference choice disparaging in any way. Documentation in many problems is very tedious and its contributions oftentimes overlooked, however I do sincerely appreciate your efforts and time spent in order to make the gnupg project very successful. In order to provide effective documentation, contributors must know all the nuances of the project and have a very good working knowledge of the various options.
Its clear that the preferences among how the different ciphers or hashes are chosen seem to be a point of confusion for many, including me, however the mailing list has seemed to clear up a lot of my misconceptions. As stated by David Shaw in a previous correspondence, it would be impossible to fully explain the decision making tree or methods effectively in the context of an individual man page. Perhaps the man page could link to a particular website for a more in-depth discussion of the decision-making methods, and perhaps the methods could be fully explained in detail on one of the web pages of the GnuPG project. I think this may help to eliminate a lot of the confusion surrounding about individual ciphers and hashes are chosen. -- Kevin Hilton _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
