## Documentation

Documentation is not yet ready, but we have a man page. OpenPGP is a proposed Internet standard, see RFC2440.

Before you report a bug, please have a look at our list of bugs.

We are working on a user manual and it will be online ASAP; you can see the progress on the GnuPG Documentation Project pages.

The FAQ is not yet ready. But have a look at this Automatic FAQ. If you have problems exchanging messages with a PGP 5.x system, you should have a look at this PGP5-GnuPG HOWTO.

## HOWTOS

You may get the best overview about the GnuPG system by reading one of the HOWTO documents:

- The English MiniHOWTO.
- The German MiniHOWTO.
- The Spanish MiniHOWTO.
