I sent my first GSoC report only to tor-dev and forgot to send it to
tails-dev too. I quote it in full at the end of this mail.

I didn't send a call for review for the CLI yet. Actually I wrote that
it's not ready for review yet (see the quote above).

Right. I said that I would do so previously and forgot.

I think this discussion has already started with anonym's mail [1]. I
discussed this further with him in XMPP because I had a different design
in mind but I think his is better, so I didn't write a mail about this
after the chat. I already started implementing and extending the design
(I think most shortcomings only become obvious during implementation).
Maybe I should send another mail about this.
