Oggetto: Re: [Tails-dev] Connect Electrum to .onion servers
Hi,

Only add something to the roadmap if you find a volunteer to do the
work. No Tails dev has volunteered, and they all have a very heavy
wrokload as-is, so I doubt they would have time.

Open a low-priority ticket, and hopefully someone will volunteer.

I also still think that improving Electrum's doc to mention the problems
would be a good idea.

If it's a big problem and nobody is available to solve it, we might have
to remove Electrum from Tails until it is fixed.

Cheers,

BitingBird
