Subject: [Tails-news] Our plans for 2018
Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2017 12:35:02 -0000
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/100
34)). (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](htt
ps://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11683))
### Resistance to remote exploitation
* **Persistent Tor state** to have persistent entry guards ([#5462](
https://la
bs.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/c
ode/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.
