Sujet: [Tails-news] Our plans for 2018
As part of our current donation campaign, we recently explained [why we need
donations](https://tails.boum.org/news/many_hands_make_tails/index.en.html)
and [what we accomplished this
year](https://tails.boum.org/news/what_we_accomplished_in_2017/index.en.html).
Today we are sharing with you some of our plans for the next years:

### Applications and features

* **Tails Server**: run onion services from Tails (VoIP chat rooms, collaboration tools, web servers, messaging servers, etc.) ([#5688](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5688), [Blueprint](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/tails_server/)). (Planned for early 2018.)
* **VeraCrypt support in GNOME**: graphical utilities to mount VeraCrypt volumes ([#11684](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11684), [#6337](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/6337), [Blueprint](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/veracrypt/)). (Planned for late 2018.)
* **Graphical interface for the Additional Packages persistent feature**: allow users to customize which applications are available in their Tails ([#14568](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14568), [Blueprint](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/additional_software_packages/)). (Planned for late 2018.)

### User research and support

* **Power our help desk with a request tracker** to know better how to help our user base at large ([#9803](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/9803), [Blueprint](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/RT_for_help_desk/))
* **Web translation platform** We have received a grant from Lush Digital fund to set up a translation platform for our website. This platform shall make it easier for translators to translate our documentation, and to have our website translated into more languages ([#10034](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10034)). (Planned for late 2018.)

### Better adoption

  * **Rethink the installation and upgrade process** in depth and reflect on the future of _Tails Installer_, the installation on Windows and macOS, and automatic upgrades ([#11679](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11679))
  * **Give some love to our troubleshooting documentation**: 
    * Our [known issues page](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html) ([#11665](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11665))
    * Computers with unsupported Wi-Fi devices, very common on Mac ([#11683](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11683))


### Resistance to remote exploitation

* **Persistent Tor state** to have persistent entry guards ([#5462](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5462), [Blueprint](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/persistent_Tor_state/))
* **Persistent seed for random number generator** to have stronger crypto ([#7675](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7675), [Blueprint](https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/randomness_seeding/))
* **Have critical parts of Tails audited** ([#14508](https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/14508))

These are all items that we find important and want to prioritize. But making
them a reality will require lots of work, time, and money; on top of all the
day-to-day work that we do to simply keep Tails alive.

If you want us to get there faster, please take one minute to make a donation.
