Totally agree, end-user need a single .exe or single .app/dmg with a nice icon to be clicked on and everything works. Imho also TBB should remove Vidalia and leave just TBB+Tor, it would strongly increase usability. Bernd, have you saw the proposed tips on using Tor's GSoc APAF for your TorChat buildsystem ? https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat/issues/16 Basically you already made your own cross-platform hacks for the build-system. It maybe very valuable to switch to APAF, also to leverage your knowledge but rationalizing what could be the future of an anonymous application ecosystem. APAF is at http://github.com/mmaker/APAF and will be used by other "anonymous applications" will be built (such as GlobaLeaks, Tor2web, OONI, maybe CryptoCat). It would be very cool if you could have an hands-on-it and contribute with your cross-platform-python-anonymous-development-experience :-) -naif _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
