+Title: Goals of the Keyring and Seahorse Projects

+<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In an
+effort to get better organized, I've put together [a page listing the
+goals][] of the [gnome-keyring][] and [seahorse][] projects. </span>It's
+all broken down into tasks, plans, and what's already done.  
+  
+The basic jist of it is to make crypto and security a usable experience
+on the desktop. This means laying down a foundation for integrating
+crypto into applications easily. We have tons of technically excellent
+crypto libraries and security components, but there hasn't been the glue
+to tie them together and make them usable in apps.   
+  
+<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It's sort
+of like what PackageKit or NetworkManager did for their respective
+areas. Linux (and other open source OS's are) really great at
+networking, but NetworkManager pulled together all the various bits, and
+completed missing parts to make it to be usable.</span>
