Hi everybody,
It seems that in a few days, we will have the list of key signatures
available in GPA again. As I prepare it, I'd like to have your input on
what the interface should look like.
It's not a matter of just showing a list, as the old versions did. We can't
put all the signatures in one big list, one after another, as they belong to
the different user ID's, and there would be duplicate signatures.
Which of these ways do people think is more appropiate?
1. A tree, with the user ID's as branches and the signatures as
leaves. This is how PGP does it, but it's slightly confusing to mix
different things (user ID's and signatures) in the same listing.
2. Different lists for each user ID, the way it works when verifying
the signatures on several files at the same time. We would have a
tab for each user ID, and each would have the list of signatures on
that ID.
3. Somehow list all the signatures together, avoiding duplicates.
That would be easy to read for new users, but more advanced users
would probably dislike the loss of information (this could be
combined, via the advanced-ui mode, with one of the above).
Thanks,
