I'll answer to your mentioned issue first, but in addition to that there are some extra, but related, information below it. As for support, you found the best place. You can indeed avoid javascript, and this is where to hang-out for feedback/questions/help/support if you want to be as close to the developers as possible (they don't always post but they do drop by every now and then), and probably also the best place to find help too given the people who gather here. But remember, when you ask for support, you must remember that it is volunteer driven "support". I'm not doing it my self, but you should be able to use for example the open-source Thunderbird mail-client over the Tor network, to post on these e-mail threads, and then use the Tor plugin's to Thunderbird to ensure you're anonymous (remember the plugin). This way, you bypass the java-script for google mails, and you can even use mail encryption if both parties have & use the keys (as you might have seen, some people have their encryption keys below their posts here, so you can send encryption messages to them). As for the extra information, it's a good timing of you to ask a question like this, as some of us are currently trying to get a discussion going today, exactly about issues like this. It could be helpful if you throw a comment over here (@ link below) to help putting focus on issues which are not covered in the Qubes docs, and come from the bottom-up (by Communuty for Community). This will over time help increase the availability of extra guides and solutions for all sorts of different things. It'd be helpful to have backing as to why we need more focus on less or unofficial guides/scripts/etc. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/dZNWxBOqa08 The better this can be done, the quicker we can get more helpful content coordinated, checked for errors/mistakes/security/easy-of-use/help-finish and make both the unfinished and finished work more visible for the rest of the community. Some of it, if good enough, could maybe end up in the Qubes docs at some point as well. To clarify, instead of top-down, this is a bottom-up approach. Disclaimer, I don't plan to take any leadership in this, I'm only pushing to get it going, and then afterwards help where I can help as a regular user. It might even be that there won't be a leadership, but things like these are for the discussion to discuss as well. Basically, if you could post your point of view, entirely what you think, what you would like to see, your own opinion, related to the subject of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
