[tahoe-dev] Accounting, 2010 edition

[Greg Troxel]

My real point was not that openpgp should be mandatory, but that
whatever tahoe does should be compatible, and avoid reinventing the
trust management wheel

Your comment made me realize more crisply that the real property I want
From pgp is to be able to manage keys via pgp and then easily insert
them into tahoe.  I really do mean "manage via and insert", not "send
email with keys as content that people will cut/paste".   I remembered
that I had heard about transforming openpgp keys to ssh keys (and
perhaps the other way).  I found

  http://web.monkeysphere.info/
  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man7/monkeysphere.7.html
  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/openpgp2ssh.1.html

which can convert an openpgp key into ssh key format.

So perhaps if tahoe can import ssh keys for use, with no explicit pgp
dependency, and then there is support for handling openpgp keys to ssh
(perhaps not in the release), then everyone can be content.
