*Tails report for February 2024* <https://tails.net/news/report_2024_02/>
Highlights
Despite the bonus day this year, February flew by pretty quickly! Here's
what we were up to:
*
We ended February more resilient and collaborative than when we
started. We have new tooling to make it easier to work on shared
documents, and use XMPP more effectively. We also worked to
strengthen our front-end services and set up the back-end
infrastructre to build redundancies into our services.
*
In 2021 and 2022, our usability tests with human rights defenders in
Mexico and Brazil
<https://tails.net/news/improving_in_latam/index.en.html> prompted
several improvements in the installation instructions for Tails.
Fixing 16 of the identified usability issues were remaining, and we
fixed them all this month. These tests, experiences, and
improvements will greatly shape our future trainings.
*
We finished updating our website for Tails 6.0. Check out the
rewritten recommendation on secure deletion
