The primary guide for GnuPG can be found at http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/guides.html

Phil Dibowitz has some documentation on how to configure GnuPG ? for a variety of email clients http://www.phildev.net/pgp/

http://keysigning.org also has some documentation on how to organize a keysigning party.

For the GPG novice, http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/wiki/GPG(approve sites) may offer some understanding of the whys and wherefores.

Questions

Put questions here and I'll try to update the Wiki page to answer them.
