+We should publish the various monkeysphere man pages in browsable form
+somewhere under http://monkeysphere.info/. Ideally, this would be
+updated automatically from the sources for the official man pages
+themselves.
+
+This strikes me as an ikiwiki subproject (implementing a man2html wiki
+compilation language perhaps?).
+
+Interestingly, [ikiwiki's own man page](http://ikiwiki.info/usage/)
+appears to be written in markdown and then converted to nroff.

+I just realized that i think i can test for the presence of [GNU-dummy
+support in
+GnuTLS](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2008-08/msg00005.html),
+which means that we can cleanly test whether the proposed [handling of
+passphrase-locked secret
+keys](bugs/handle-passphrase-locked-secret-keys/) is functional. With
+that in mind, I'd like to propose that we could resolve this bug
+simply by adding a new subcommand: `monkeysphere authkey-to-agent`,
+which would fail in the absence of a functionally-patched GnuTLS.
+
+Would this proposal be sufficient to resolve this bug?

+[[meta title="list-identity-certfiers should run as the non-privileged user"]]
+
+Right now, `monkeysphere-server list-identity-certifiers` runs as the
+superuser, and just lists the keys in the host's keyring. This might
+not be the actual list of valid id certifiers, for a number of reasons:
+
+* the keys themselves might have been revoked by the owner
+
+* the id-certifiers might have been added with a different trust
+ level, or a regexp/domain limitation.
+
+It would make more sense to derive the list of trusted certifiers
+directly from the keyrings as seen by the non-privileged
+`monkeysphere` user, since this user's keyrings are what are going to
+judge the validity of various user IDs.

+Clearly this is unacceptable. gpg does not let you can't specify a
+uid to revoke from the command line. The uid revokation can only be
+done through edit-key. We do edit-key scripting in other contexts,
+but to revoke a user id you have to specify the uid by "number". We
+currently try to guess the number from the ordering of the output of
+list-key. However, this output does not appear to coincide with the
+ordering in edit-key. I don't have a good solution or fix at the
+moment. Suggestions are most welcome. It may just require some trial
+and error with edit-key to come up with something workable.
+
+This underlines the problem that gpg is currently not very well suited
+for manipulating gpg keyrings non-interactively. It's possible that I
+just haven't figured out how to do it yet, but it's not very clear if
+it is possible. It would be nice to have some alternate tools to use.
