add a request for advocating crypto to the crypto tools

Hello,

due to its rather little visibility for the average user this affects GnuPG 
less than its GUIs (the mail clients in particular). It may well be used in 
the GnuPG documentation (man, info, www). But I assume that many GUI (or more 
general: crypto tool) developers are on these lists.

We need everyone we can get for help in advocating the usage of crypto tools. 
Currently probably even most crypto users are not aware of the opportunities 
they have for doing that (even at nearly no effort). Thus I suggest that the 
crypto tools get somewhere (configuration windows) a link to a page which 
tells them.

I created a page in the KDE userbase wiki (which has the advantage that it is 
going to be translated) for this purpose (based on my German page 
http://www.openpgp-schulungen.de/fuer/unterstuetzer/):

http://userbase.kde.org/Concepts/OpenPGP_Help_Spread

And I have created according wishlist entries (PLEASE feel free to vote for 
them ;-) ) in the bug tracker for KMail and KGpg:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326476 (KMail)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326477 (KGpg)

This may not just raise the interest in crypto but also the donations for the 
tools.


Hauke
