[Tails-dev] roadmap and broken windows
Hi, As a reminder, here's the decisions we took when discussing about the roadmap and how we'll solve the broken windows. * We'll organize sprints to work specifically on broken windows. It will likely be impossible in 2012 though, and hardly depends on fundings. But there are good chances to see this happening in 2013. * During our monthly meeting, we'll organize Broken Window Fixing weeks, on quick and easy ones. During this week, people will dedicate their Tails time to work on those bugs rather than on new features. Likely this week will be the one following the monthly meeting. * We'll organize our team to do shifts on the forum and support tasks so that some of us will have free time to work on those broken window items. Someone will setup a bot to automatically remind us of the next upcoming meeting date. I think that's mostly what we decided. Please amend if I forgot or misunderstood something. bert. ___ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev

You probably won't be able to fix this bug. re https://tails.boum.org/todo/distribute_source/ : There is a block-deduplicating archival system called ‘venti’, generally used in the Plan 9 community and available for other platforms in ‘plan9port’. I have never successfully used it, I would expect it to contain security bugs (mainly lots of integer overflows), and I have no idea how to configure it to forbid writes by unauthenticated users, but it might be sufficiently better than nothing to justify using it until you find something better. (Make sure you upload separate packages to it as separate, rather than uploading a tarball -- I have no reason to believe that it would do a good job of chopping your data into blocks.) re https://tails.boum.org/todo/more_stable_WhisperBack_SMTP_relay/ : If all else fails, you could consider using Mixminion to try to send a bug report. (This would require some testing to determine whether it is reliable enough to be worth providing the option.) Also, you could consider asking Tor Project, Inc. to host another server to receive messages for you.
