Hi Giorgio, A few days ago we finished a wireframe of the extension that we believe is a good start for you to work on. It might still change slightly as we continue discussing small details of it.
See https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/download/759/extension-20150430.fodg. We also updated the blueprint with some more implementation information. https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/bootstrapping/extension/ See the sections: - Non goals - User scenario and wireframe - Integration in the web assistant - Initial browser detection - Checksum verification - Data source Regarding the data source, we need to know whether YAML works for you as we already create very similar YAML files for the automatic upgrades. Does all this sounds reasonable to you? I think that what we need to work on together now is to specify which HTML tools (div, class, etc.) you will need in the code of those web pages to be able to do your stuff. Then tchou and I will start writing the HTML code for those pages. If that's relevant for you, note that we will most likely use bootstrap for the CSS of those pages. So for example the progress bar would have this markup: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#progress Before you can start coding for real we'll also need a name for the extension. We'll try to sort this out quickly, see #9295. Feel free to comment on the latest proposals. In all your work, it's also important to keep in mind that we'll try to have a similar extension for Chrome at least very soon. I don't know if you can make coding decisions that are more portable than others, but we should do that as much as possible. We should also try to make the code as little Tails specific as possible. Of course it will be Tails specific as a first implementation, but we'd like to keep the Tails specific bits at least easy to factor out later on if other distros want to reuse our design and make it more generic. We also want to ask you whether you think we should have some written contract for your work with the specifications, deadlines, conditions, and so on. We don't usually do that when we work amongst ourselves but if you require one we can maybe get something. Otherwise, at least regarding the deadlines we'll have to deliver the web assistant to Hivos by the end of the year but we'll do several iterations before that and it would be great to have something on which we can do user testing let's say before July. Does that sound reasonable to you? Ah, and we took it for granted but your code will be public, GPL, and all from (almost) the beginning, right? Maybe we should create you a repo on git-tails.immerda.ch. -- sajolida _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
