I think we strongly need a proper list of things to do when you want to
sign a key/get one signed, to avoid confusion.

so to make clear what i meant, checking that this guys's fingerprint match the one you have of him :)

I would argue that we are in need of better tools for key signing to make it easier and more ubiquitous... but nobody with user interface experience seem to care enough to do that so far :)

I guess a proper list of things to check could do for now... :P
