I'd rather switch to Tor Launcher, once it's rewritten as a XUL
application. Are you into XUL / Mozilla development, by chance?
This reply will be heavily based on an email I sent to Sina
a month ago.
Below, I'll assume you're mostly interested in coding tasks. If you
could be up to some testing or basic research, please speak up :)
I'm focussing on Python tasks bellow, too. If you're comfortable with
other programming languages than Python (e.g. Modern Perl, C/Glib,
C++/Qt, Ruby or something else), please let me know.
In each category below, I'm sorting tickets in increasing order of
difficulty. Of course, there are only my guesses, based on my own
skills only.
If you want to go on doing Python/udisks in the installer:
* #6054 - should hide the USB stick that contains the ISO
* #5938 - should inhibit udisks
* #5623 - liveusb-creator vs. empty partition upgrade
If you prefer to do some Python/GTK in the greeter:
* #5387 - fix quick search in Other... window
* #5917 - Warn when caps-lock in ON
Andres started something and seems to need some help.
How about teaming up with him and leading this to completion?
* #5594 - better admin password UI
* #5760 - feedback when repairing damaged persistent filesystem
If you prefer to write another small, brand new program from scratch:
* #5502 - notify user if hardware requirements are not met
* #6288 and #6207 - Automatically update POT and PO files at release time
If you prefer to start tackling system-wide changes, that don't
require building an ISO to test:
* #5374 - make documentation accessible in Windows camouflage mode
* #5648 - dont set torbutton environment variables globally
If you are not afraid of starting a long-term task:
* #5958 migrate our custom software to Python 3 (see sub-tickets)
If you need more information than what's on the tickets, please feel
free to ask: sadly, even the phrasing of our tickets marked "Easy" is
too often optimized for the person who wrote the software initially,
or for the one who filed the ticket.
Cheers,
