Marc, are you on the list or do you need explicit Cc:?

I like this one.

I also like this one, maybe:

« The USB stick that you install on is reformatted and all data is
deleted, including the persistent volume. »

- Put the important "delete" before the long apposition.
- They can only be one persistent volume.

I also proposed removing "that you install on" which was added to avoid
ambiguity between the "USB stick you are cloning from" but I feel like
here there's a tension with making this sentence shorter to give more
important to data deletion. I'm not sure what's better.

I don't know for sure but maybe that's not possible. I proposed to focus
on the link to the documentation :)

I think we should instead work on:
https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/bootstrapping/installer/#bonus_for_2015.

The issue here is that it's hard to find people to write the code, so if
we find some they should work on the real solution instead of the
workarounds.

And yes, I should update this blueprint and the corresponding tickets as
they are far from being clear right now.
