 > 1. edit [[wiki:Convergence Secret]] to warn that even if the file is
 unique to you, such as a statement from your bank, then the "Learn-The-
 Remaining-Information" attack could be used to reveal your confidential
 information to an attacker

 That link is what it already referenced, but I'll explain more as to what
 that situation involves in the text instead of just the Confirm-The-File
 attack.  I actually hadn't processed fully what that meant until you made
 this comment.

 > 2. convert the text from trac wiki markup format from [[wiki:Convergence
 Secret]] to .rst format, put it in a file in [source:git/docs/] and open a
 pull request on github.

 I'll see what I can do.  .rst is foggy, but I think it's pretty easy.
 I'll put it as a sub bullet under configuration on the "Doc" page.
