I've just been writing the following, before seeing sajolida reply. I'll still just post the prior written message as I still see it being valuable to the topic:
"What would be the process one should follow to effectively propose an application to become part of the core code base? What can/is expected from one to prepare before making such a proposal? Reason I'm asking: Konrad Bächler is interested in long-term contribution in order to re-introduce I2P. I would like identify and mitigate what Konrad is blocking from starting their work. They are ready to start now. I understand that this is in dependence on what will be decided for "Define our core code base" https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/16531. At the same I believe it does not need to be a blocker. Without having made deep considerations how a low effort solution for the core-team could look like, the following just as an indication that there could be possibilities: - firewall exception for i2p that can be started through the Tails welcome screen - do everything else upstream (I'm sharing this idea, not to discuss this as a final thought, but as an indication that there is work that can be done in regards of reintroducing I2P without "Define our core code base" being solved yet".) --------------------------- Open questions that I identify from reading sajolida reply: What would be the advantage of I2P being re-introduced into Tails, also in regards of user base? How to create a process in order to move forward? (that does not mean to necessary re-introduce I2P. It can also just mean to do research/answering open questions, so that future decisions can be based on it.) ----------------------------- June 12, 2020 3:32 PM, "sajolida" <[email protected]> wrote: > Konrad Bächler: > >> we would like to help and work on the re-introduction of I2P into Tails. >> We understood that there is a need for the re-introduction in the "Tails >> way" (easy to maintain, as close as possible to Debian).
