OpenPGP.js is a Javascript implementation of the OpenPGP protocol. This is defined in RFC 4880.
As a developer, the best place to start is in the resources/ directory. Within this you will find a basic example implementation and the "binary" files for this library. It is likely that you will want to use resources/openpgp.min.js on your site, this is a minified version of our library.
You can sign up for our mailing list and ask for help there. We've recently worked on getting our archive up and running.
A jsdoc build of our code comments is available at doc/index.html. Public calls should generally be made through the OpenPGP object doc/openpgp.html.
You want to help, great! Go ahead and fork our repo, make your changes
and make a pull request. For any significant changes, use the "devel" branch. This will eventually be merged into the current master. Please be sure that you run make minify from the root directory to concatenate and minify the library into the resources/ directory.
It is extra awesome if you write tests for the code you change. Our test coverage is relatively weak, so if you can add cases that is great.

OpenPGP.js currently only fully supports Chrome. Firefox support should be coming soon with the advent of Firefox 23 with native javascript support for window.crypto.getRandomValues. If you can help us support more browsers and situations, please chip in!
Below is a collection of resources, many of these were projects that were in someway a precursor to the current OpenPGP.js project. If you'd like to add your link here, please do so in a pull request or email to the list.
