[OTR-users] Spreading the word :)

[Aldert J.B.P. Hazenberg]

FYI, spreading the word :)

Ps, The "I can run Jabber and GPG discussion, why bother with OTR"
     is pretty hard, lots of people who want IM encryption use that and
     it is not easy to make them see that OTR is just as good, better in
     many cases and extemely to install compared to Jabber and GPG....

Hi List,

somebody mentioned today "Off the Record Messaging" to me. It is kind
of an encryption for instant messaging, currently only implemented in
a Gaim-Plugin. I was *very* impressed how easy the setup was and how
easy the usability is - I already tested it today via jabber (if
anyone else wants to test it, my jid is in the signature).

That is the reason why I am mentioning this thing here - I would be
very happy to see this thing implemented in Psi (I am way too dumb to
do it myself), because it is very end-user friendly, and seems to be
quite secure as far as I can judge it.
