Hello, for the first time in history(?) cryptography has become a subject for mainstream media. Over the last weeks my web page got a visitors increate of 600+% for the key word "openpgp".
That's nice but crypto still has a "rather low" fun factor. I don't claim that the fun factor is the decisive part of a possible "success" of mainstream crypto but it may make the work of some promoting people easier. And maybe we can get this without much work. Linux has its cuddly penguin, BSD its devil, openSUSE the chameleon... Whether the GNU gnu increases the fun factor is a difficult question... ;-) I guess it would be good to have something like that for OpenPGP. Something that people both like and recognize. Something that both instructors (OpenPGP courses) and private people, companies and other organizations which use it can put on their web pages in order to create awareness. I would prefer something with a strong appearance, a smiling rhino or gorilla maybe. :-) I am a total artistic black-out so I can hardly do more about that than say "I would like to have it". But if it turns out that there is a broad agreement (above all among those who publicly promote crypto) that it would be nice to have something like that then we might search for talented volunteers in the community.
