Tails put aside, I'm interested in the result. Please keep me posted.

There would be much to say about the "I fork because there is no
shared project" logics, but I don't care enough to raise it.

Sounds good, modulo:

1. License is one thing, but you must also add copyright information.
2. You must release the resulting derived work under
a compatible license.
3. Please refer to the original source (in Git), rather than to the
built product (i.e. on the web). Well, if you do fork the resulting
web page, then you should refer to it, but *please* do point to the
source to then.

Cheers,
