Hi Mark, I think this is an excellent and useful task. The first step is to define the audiences of which I would like to suggest five.
1. Experienced System administrators with experience in security and SSL 2. Experienced System administrators with no or little experience in security and SSL 3 Non system administrators with experience in security and SSL 4. Non system administrators with no or little experience in security and SSL 5. Overarching each of the above is the different CAs that might be used A question would be are audiences 3 and 4 populated. I for one fall somewhere between 3 and 4, but maybe I'm the only one. It seems to me that small companies would fall into 3 and 4. A big further complication is item 5, which applies to each of the others. I wrote a short write-up to this site about a month age addressing audiences 2, 3 and 4, mostly 4 and was told that this was not what was wanted, that all the information was somewhere on the web. That is true but trying to find it, absorb and apply it is difficult.
