Comment: added new link to WKD. Should be a top link, because it is a proposal for all OpenPGP applications.

GnuPG for Users
- Documentation Overview
- LargeKeys: How many bits are enough?
- WebOfTrust: Understanding the web of trust
- GnomeKeyring: What to do when Gnome Keyring Hijacks your GPG Agent
- TroubleShooting: What to do when something doesn't work.
- PlatformNotes - what to be aware of when using or administrating GnuPG on different platforms.
- X.509 hints (needed for S/MIME and trusted root certs)
- SmartCard hints
- Wishlist Where to submit feature requests
- Applications using GnuPG
- MailClients/Screenshots
- LDAPKeyserver: How to configure OpenLDAP as a keyserver.
- Hints for use with NFS
GnuPG for Developers
- How to use GnuPG from your application (GnuPG's API)
- BuildingFromGIT
- Building GnuPG 2.1: GnuPG 2.1 is the latest GnuPG version but as with all 2.x versions it has several dependencies, which make building it a bit more difficult. Here are some notes.
- API checker: Upstream-Tracker.org checks ABI/API changes for some libraries like gpgme, libgpg-error, libgcrypt.
Note that the tools can't necessary decide whether something is an ABI or API change. The output should be used as a hint to look for whether there might be a problem. We are not aware of any broken API or ABI contracts for the listed libraries.

About this Wiki
The aim of the GnuPG Project and the initiative Gpg4win is to provide software solutions for everyone to
- enable email and file end-to-end security, offering protection against being listened to by servers or transport systems.
- use openly researched crypto algorithms.
- allow the implementations to be independently audited. (Which is achieved by publishing them as Free Software.)
In 2015 a big challenge for a better user experience for email and file-transport security is certificate discovery and trust building. The STEED concept proposes a solution.
