I don't like the idea. Werner already has more then enough infrastructure to 
administer. Let's keep the Gpg4win files and Website on our infrastructure. We 
should have the capacity to administer this.

Again I'm slightly against this. The costs should be manageable for Intevation 
and I'd rather not have us put any more work / cost / responsibilities on 
Werners plate even If he volunteers to do this ;-) .

This, of course, with the assumption that Intevation can get this done in a 
timely manner.

Andre
