Thanks for the pointer!

Neither does caff, if the organiser of the keyparty simply collects all keys
(sent by the participants) and sends the resulting keyring to all participants.
Been there, done that, bought the GnuPG t-shirt. I haven't checked if you can
pass a keyring to monkeysign.

So I'm a bit surprised by that claim in the README of GNOME Keysign.

They also keep talking of an authenticated copy of a key. The authentication
usually consists of you checking the fingerprint (or the program checking the
fingerprint in a securely retrieved barcode). Surely that is enough? Am I
missing something somewhere?
