Cool.

From a quick glance at your page, I'd say it is a good structure.

As a side-note: how about thinking about a set of personas[1]. For
example, I would say that users of Outlook with no deep IT knowledge
are our most important target group for GnuPG documentation. With a
persona in this area, you are able to determine whether or not a
certain topic is explained on a suitable level. It's hard to write
concise documentation with no clear image of the typical reader.

All in all, one of the most disturbing things today is the definitive

massively terrorizing the freedom of us and the next generations.
