I agree that having an onboarding document would be really good to have. I sent out a small onboarding guideline for my Taler GSoC students with links for more advanced topics (generating ssh keys and signing commits with GPG), and I think it helped a lot. We should have something like this for GNUnet as well. But I'd rather have this document guide people to the "right" way of doing things than lower entry barriers by relying on or accommodating for proprietary platforms. - Florian _______________________________________________ GNUnet-developers mailing list GNUnet-developers@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnunet-developers
