+
+This README is to describle the current form of the seed files
+and the fields data they contain.
+
+CAUTION:  These specs are not to be considered stable and
+are likely to change in the future.
+
+============================================================
+Python file excerpt of the GKEY named tuple class used to
+represent the data in the seed file.
+=============================================================
+
+
+# some constants used in gkeyldap/actions.py
+# they map the index values of the GKEY input data fields
+NICK = 0
+NAME = 1
+KEYID = 2
+LONGKEYID = 3
+KEYDIR = 4
+FINGERPRINT = 5
+
+# set some defaults
+KEY_LEN = {
+    'keyid': 8,
+    'longkeyid': 16,
+}
+
+
+class GKEY(namedtuple('GKEY', ['nick', 'name', 'keyid', 'longkeyid',
+    'keydir', 'fingerprint'])):
+    '''Class to hold the relavent info about a key'''
+
+    field_types = {'nick': str, 'name': str, 'keyid': list,
+        'longkeyid': list, 'keydir': str, 'fingerprint': list}
+    field_separator = "|"
+    list_separator = ":"
+    __slots__ = ()
+
+
+=============================================================
+
+Current fileds data in the seed files are:
+
+=============================================================
+
+field-0|field-1|field-2|filed-3|field-4|field-5
+
+['nick', 'name', 'keyid', 'longkeyid', 'keydir', 'fingerprint']
+
+fields2,3,5 may be lists with a ":" separating list members.
+This is going to change to use a "," as the list separator.
+
+Also, the keyid and longkeyid fileds are likely to be dropped, as version 3
+gpg key types will not be used/allowed.
+Therefore since the keyid and longkeyid are just substrings of the fingerprint.
+They do not need to be tracked.
