Can I just add a suggestion:

Why not come up with a small banner to be placed on Enigmail user's websites. The "SpreadFirefox" equivalent for enigmail. Might help drum up some interest in Enigmail and email security in general. There could be a "Spread Enigmail" landing page giving basic benefits and providing links to the main download page - what do you think?

I'd be happy to try and come up with a single webpage for this if anyone thinks it's a good idea?

Ok, PLEASE don't take this as being the finished article! I spent 15 mins knocking this up:

http://uk.geocities.com/adg_84/enigmail/index.html

The basic idea behind it is that it's a non-technical piece to draw some intrest to email encryption and signing. There are the most asked encryption-related questions in there (like Why should I encrypt my email etc) and I've also included links to plugins for other mail clients like eudora and so on.

To state again, this is NOT a finished version, but I'm looking for comments on the content / style and the general idea behind it.

"Ignite Enigmail" - cheesy I know. Spur of the moment thing :wink: This can always change.

There will still be logos added to it (depending on the outcome of the logo contest) and I can always change the site colours to suit the logo. It's not exactly spreadfirefox, but I hope you understand the purpose behind the idea. It's not an Enigmail homepage replacement by any means!!!

Looks good at first glance.

For the Logo, I think the "FF-like comic-style" would be more fitting than the one you have there. But that is just my 2cents, so.

As a first shot in 15 minutes it's impressive! I wish I could knock stuff up that quickly.

A gotcha:
Welcome to “Ignite Enigmail” - the community distribution site for the Enigmail email encryption plugin for Mozilla Firefox.

Should be "email encryption plugin for Mozilla Thunderbird" :wink:

I like the idea of a site aimed at spreading the word on Enigmail in the same way that SpreadFirefox does.

Duh! :oops:

Ok, removed all text relating to Firefox - I actually had it in there twice!

Makes you wonder though... Why do they use the same file extension for a Firefox and Thunderbird extension?

Not that that's any excuse for my dumbassness!

I haven't spent time on this - just an off-hand couple of images created by two of the available logo creators:
