| schestowitz[TR2] | "Q: Why did you stop maintaining the official GnuPG FAQ? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: Inappropriate pressure from RMS, as well as to protest FSF's | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | decision to reappoint him to the Board. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: So if you're writing this, that means things are changing? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: Nope. Still not going to maintain the official FAQ. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: So what's this email about? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: I'm going to write an unofficial FAQ. If the core team | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | wants to later on bless it as an official resource, they | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | can, but as far as I'm concerned it will be 100% unofficial. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: Why now? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: Because I'm sick and tired, and tired and sick, of doing | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nothing as my country tears itself apart. I can't do much | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but I can explain things well. Maybe that will make GnuPG | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | more useful to people who are deeply concerned about the | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | trend of Western democracies towards surveillance capitalism | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and authoritarian rule. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: How can I help? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: Let me know what questions you've always had. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: What will the format be? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: HTML, PDF, and ePUB. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: Are you accepting contributions? | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: No. I want there to be one authorial voice. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Q: Good luck, man. | Feb 21 08:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A: That's not a question, but thanks. We all need it." | Feb 21 08:55 |
