It's going to take me some time to develop a proper tool for validating and signing an article. The core work is done, but there's a quite a way to go still.
In the meantime, this is the current procedure for publishing an article:
1) Write an article.
2) Send me the article. I edit it if necessary to pass various checks / standards / rules and format it until it displays properly as a draft page.
Note: There may be multiple rounds of editing, and perhaps rewriting, depending on the subject material. E.g. code may require testing and more detailed explanations. The goal is to publish high-quality reference points, no matter how expensive this turns out to be for the participants.
3) I send you the edited copy and a link to the draft page.
4) Signing an article is optional. You can stop here if you like, and I will publish the unsigned article. If you want to sign your articles, you will first need to publish a public key ownership article.
5) You sign the final version using the process in

.
This relies on GPG 1.4.x. With some experimentation, you will probably be able to use GPG 2.x, but I haven't done this myself.
6) You send me the signed article.
7) I publish the signed article.
