-    <p>Several major upcoming Tails features need to gather user input at

-    startup time: bridges support, persistence, MAC address anonymization,

-    etc.</p>

-    <p>Existing boot menus lack the graphical widgets and generally

-    user-friendliness needed. Hence it was decided to implement Tails startup

-    menu in GDM3: GDM3's default login/password prompt needs to be replaced

-    with a custom GTK+ application hereby named tails-greeter that allows the

-    user to provide any input necessary.</p>

-    <p>Anyone undertaking this project should be familiar with GNU/Linux and

-    application development; no other skill is required, apart of the ability

-    to quickly find practical answers in APIs and documentation for many

-    technologies she knows nothing about: this challenging coding project will

-    indeed involve getting familiar with some modern GNU/Linux Desktop

-    technologies such as D-Bus, GNOME and GConf. Python/GTK+ is probably the

-    best suited language for the task.</p>

-    <p>Tor helps greatly in publishing files anonymously. However, much personal

-    information can be enclosed *inside* such published files' meta-data: GPS

-    coordinates, author's name and so on. Anyone who wants to anonymously

-    publish a file can thus far too easily de-anonymize herself.</p>

-    <p>A set of tools allowing users to easily inspect and clean up meta-data in files

-    would benefit Tor users, and would e.g. be shipped in Tails.</p>

-    <p>A graphical user interface is a must, but library and command-line

-    interfaces are most welcome so that future work can add support for

-    cleaning published files to various publishing tools, such as desktop

-    social networking clients and Web content management systems.</p>

-    <p>This project mostly consists of writing glue between the many existing

-    tools and libraries that provide read/write access to files' meta-data. An

-    extensible program design would probably be the best bet, so that support

-    for other kinds of files can easily be added later.</p>

-    <p>The meta-data cleaning toolkit would run at least on GNU/Linux;

-    additional Windows and/or Mac OS X support would be welcome. The tools used

-    would be up to the students. The detailed specification is ready and will

-    be published soon.</p>

-    <p>Data persistence is a somewhat tricky topic in a Live system context,

-    especially one such as Tails, which is explicitly designed to avoid

-    leaving any trace of its use.</p>

-    <p>Some real-life use cases, however, require some kind of data

-    persistence. To start with, Tails should (carefully) support persistence of

-    application-specific configurations (e.g. GnuPG keyring) and of a user

-    arbitrary data store. Note that persistence in Tails will always be opt-in

-    and require encrypted storage.</p>

-    <p>The backend work consists of improving Debian Live's existing

-    persistence features to make them suit the specific context of Tails. A trust

-    relationship is already established with upstream who is happy to merge our

-    changes. The codebase is not that small and much refactoring is needed, so

-    this really is a programming project rather than a fire'n'forget shell

-    script hack contest.</p>

-    <p>Anyone undertaking this project must be familiar with GNU/Linux, and

-    preferably with Debian. Being able to (quickly learn to) write clean and

-    safe programs in shell is also needed.</p>
