Ok. As it would be the first time that we're doing something like this,
I'd like to have the opinion of more people on that.

The proposal is to create a page about Mumble from Tails in the
"Advanced topics" section, including a copy of the scripts. I would do
some minimal reformatting on the original blog posts.

Having this on the website only is less work (and commitment) than
adding the scripts to Tails itself and could serve as a way of knowing
how popular such a solution would be.

Regarding maintenance, I would leave it to Rafael and CAD. If the
scripts ever happen to be badly broken and unmaintained, by then we'll
have a better idea of how popular they are so we can evaluate the
cost/benefit of fixing them and possibly drop them.

We should also have someone from Tails review the code of the scripts
for security (and maybe nothing else for now).

Given that VoIP on Tails is something that we've been interested in
having for years, such a smallish operation could be an interesting step
in the right direction.

Nice :)

I added it to the draft. It'll be published around next week:
