I've just been writing the following, before seeing sajolida reply.
I'll still just post the prior written message as I still see it being valuable to the topic:
"What would be the process one should follow to effectively propose an application to become part of the core code base?
What can/is expected from one to prepare before making such a proposal?
Reason I'm asking:
Konrad Bächler is interested in long-term contribution in order to re-introduce I2P.
I would like identify and mitigate what Konrad is blocking from starting their work. They are ready to start now.
I understand that this is in dependence on what will be decided for "Define our core code base"
https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/16531.
At the same I believe it does not need to be a blocker. Without having made deep considerations how a low effort solution for the core-team could look like, the following just as an indication that there could be possibilities:
- firewall exception for i2p that can be started through the Tails welcome screen
- do everything else upstream
(I'm sharing this idea, not to discuss this as a final thought, but as an indication that there is work that can be done in regards of reintroducing I2P without "Define our core code base" being solved yet".)
---------------------------
Open questions that I identify from reading sajolida reply:
What would be the advantage of I2P being re-introduced into Tails, also in regards of user base?
How to create a process in order to move forward? (that does not mean to necessary re-introduce I2P. It can also just mean to do research/answering open questions, so that future decisions can be based on it.)
