Message-ID: <77D4ED68-E317-4DD5-B135-E1C081E488E8@gmail.com> Hi all, I recently started using Gmane (http://www.gmane.org), a free mail-to- news gateway that allows mailing list users to view messages through a Usenet newsreader. A bunch of high-profile open source projects use Gmane, so I was writing to see whether there's any opposition to adding OTR-Users to Gmane. If we were to do so, everyone would be able to post to and read the list just as before, but it would also be possible to view the list through a newsreader. Gmane has a comprehensive FAQ at http:// gmane.org/faq.php, and information on adding a list is available at http://gmane.org/add.php. If there's no significant opposition to this idea within a couple of days, I'll go ahead and add the list myself. Cheers, -- Benjamin D.

I think I have no objection to adding it as a "read only" list, and you may as well do otr-users, otr-dev, and otr-announce all at the same time. I'm unsure how I feel about posting via gmane, as the list is currently set up to allow posts only from subscribers. - Ian From ooydoboora at gmail.com Mon Jul 2 22:03:14 2007 From: ooydoboora at gmail.com (Marko Kraljevic) Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2007 04:03:14 +0200 Subject: [OTR-users] Cannot generate private keys with Pidgin 2.0.2 & pidgin-otr-3.0.0 win32 Message-ID: <268d1abe0707021903u57f73a54qe7759eff1afdd3ac@mail.gmail.com> From ian at cypherpunks.ca Mon Jul 2 22:14:26 2007 From: ian at cypherpunks.ca (Ian Goldberg) Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 22:14:26 -0400 Subject: [OTR-users] Cannot generate private keys with Pidgin 2.0.2 & pidgin-otr-3.0.0 win32 In-Reply-To: <268d1abe0707021903u57f73a54qe7759eff1afdd3ac@mail.gmail.com> References: <268d1abe0707021903u57f73a54qe7759eff1afdd3ac@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <20070703021426.GK5757@yoink.cs.uwaterloo.ca> On Tue, Jul 03, 2007 at 04:03:14AM +0200, Marko Kraljevic wrote: > >From the Config tab, when first accessed, Generate button is grayed > out ( http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/1617/pidginotr300xn6.png ). > Then when the account is selected, Generate *fails to work* or does > nothing. > > Vladimir > > Cannot generate private keys with Pidgin 2.0.2 & pidgin-otr-3.0.0 win32 Is this just a problem with the Config tab? That is, if you actually start an OTR conversation with someone, does it auto-generate a key the way it's supposed to? [You don't need to manually generate keys any more; the plugin will do it automatically when needed.] As far as the Config tab goes, the reason the Generate button is greyed out and inactive is that for some reason, the plugin believes no account is selected in the pulldown menu.

If so, that's a useful place for me to start looking for the problem. Although there was recently a patch sent in to simplify the account-list handling code, so maybe that will just take care of it. - Ian From bdesham at gmail.com Sat Jul 7 19:40:41 2007 From: bdesham at gmail.com (Benjamin Esham) Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2007 19:40:41 -0400 Subject: [OTR-users] [meta] Can we add this mailing list to Gmane?

OTR-users and -dev are "non-public", which means that only list subscribers can post through Gmane. OTR-announce is "read-only", so that no one can post to it through Gmane. Ian: once the groups are added, it would be best to send Gmane the list archives, so that they can add all of the list's previous messages. The process is described at http://gmane.org/import.php; I'd do it myself, but only list administrators can access the requisite files. Cheers, -- Benjamin D.

Message-ID: Hi OTR people I upgraded to Pidgin 2.0.2 last week and have encountered a problem adding an MSN buddy. I'm not sure whether it is me or the software! This isn't really related to OTR, but haven't been able to locate a Pidgin users list. Anyway if someone is able to email me offlist with their MSN account, for me to simply test - that would be most appreciated. At the moment it tells me the screen name is invalid when I try to add someone with a known msn account. Just not sure where the problem lies... I have a number of people in my survey group who are keen to do instant messaging interviews (this is when I'll be discussing encryption and OTR with them). But can't get to that stage if I can't add them to my list! thanks! monica From sven.lug-dorsten at gmx.de Fri Jul 20 06:07:35 2007 From: sven.lug-dorsten at gmx.de (Sven) Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 12:07:35 +0200 Subject: [OTR-users] is otr-proxy working somewhere?
