Ok, so since I wrote my summary Uzair found a serious technical
limitation in option A and intrigeri thinks there is a serious UX deal
breaker in option A as well.

We're left with option B. Long live option B!

Uzair: Do you need anything else before being able to send us a quote of
how much work this migration would represent along with a calendar proposal?

The way we worked when developing the original extension was that tchou
and me we doing all the UX, HTML, and CSS work, providing Giorgio Maone
with a prototype page where relevant and he was only doing the coding
work on the extension.

I propose we do the same this time as well. Tchou is missing in action
but I guess I can do the HTML and CSS work and anonym can review the
whole thing :)

We would be interested in a quote for the migration to Web Extensions on
the one hand but also for the port to Chrome, as a possible additional work.

If you need to continue the technical/UX debate do it here. Otherwise
for the quote, please write to tails-accounting@??? putting
anonym@??? in copy.
