And now here's the kicker: This two-person team which they are trying to get funded, IS NOT FUNDED!

Take a look here:

https://gnupg.org/index.html

Again:

NOT. FUNDED.

This line of argument seems to imply that throwing money at GnuPG will somehow fix its well-known usability issues. http://secushare.org/PGP

Some of those issues are not easily fixable (or at all, because of how e-mail works); but some of them are fixable, if only the right incentives show up.

Yep.

Maybe we could find a way to fund GnuPG/Enigmail/MailPile in a way that would incentivise good UI/UX? I don't know... we seem to have a _crowd_ here, maybe we could find a way _fund_ such an endaevour?

If not from someone listening to this list, then from where? It seems ridiculous that it is not already funded given the threats to encryption around the world. Obama. Cameron. Putin. Belafuckingrus. Suggestions are welcome. I would really rather see https://gnupg.org/index.html funded than send a robot into the ocean as we bomb ourselves into the abyss with unfunded programmers' last words to the human race being, "I told you so" and the last noises humanity makes being a few plaintive cries and the clinking of wine glasses. We really need to do better as a species. github.com/abisprotocol/ImmortalCode
