The guy who does backend at Oakmail here.

1. Supporting external APIs greatly helps the cause. Keybase, Facebook PGP.

2. Custom protocols for TOFU key sharing. There has been some effort in ModernPGP regarding that. Not a fan of that.

3. Certificate Transparency implemented for WoT. Something that Gary Belvin from Google proposed during 2nd OpenPGP Summit. Pretty cool stuff.

4. Legacy key servers.

People say that you can't make e-mail secure. Sure as hell you can - the protocol is very flexible and if you cooperate with other companies you can at least create a mini encrypted ecosystem for emails. If we finish the product, we could grab a significant market share away from the competitors and get them to implement new features to finally create proper products.
