Cool! If we pick a-c-w that ticket will likely be rejected, and I'll open a new one about a-c-w but I'll do my best to add you as a watcher to that and related tickets in that case.

I'd like to know how you feel about extending a-c-w so it deals with the network connection setup as well, as I have alluded to before [1]. I could imagine this benefiting from switching to a plugin architecture, where plugins correspond to pages in the wizard. Example: those wanting a-c-w to act as Tor Launcher would only load those plugins, but in Tails (and Whonix?) we'd also load the network connection setup plugin, the MAC spoofing plugin, and a Tails-specific "Congrats, your Tails is connected to Tor! Here are some recommendations of what to do next..." plugin that only we ship, or something like that.
As for a larger collaboration, I could see us in Tails providing UX insight and GUI design work, and coding if necessary (although I'm sure you're eager to be the main developer, which would be perfect for us :)). Whonix and Tails could apply for funding together (increased probability of acceptance) to have us paid for doing this work and pay for UX research, user testing etc. Note that this is just *my* vague vision, and I have no clue how the rest of the Tails crew feels about it. :)
What do you think?

Thanks! I've added/changed these.
Cheers!
