Hello all,

I found my way here at last, triggered by a recent post of Michael's.

I did that and it works. Some keys in my keyring show owner trust now
that wasn't there before. :-)

I read the GSWoT pages and some messages in the Yahoo group over and
over, but still I don't understand what I have to do to participate. I
imported the key 3C4A1809, lsigned it and set trust to "marginal".
What do I do now?

I'm also a Thawte notary. How do I implement this in the GSWoT?
