Hi all!
Our first alpha for Tor Browser for Android is about to go live and we could have a short meeting about the big picture for the things to come until we call it stable.
I outlined my thoughts in https://pad.riseup.net/p/nlhgUPXcS8SK. Please add things I forgot or rearrange them. I think our MUST and SHOULD format went well for the first alpha which is why I kept it.
FWIW: we'll meet today at 1800 UTC, probably in #tor-meeting to discuss next steps on the mobile side. Please join us if you can.
Okay, the meeting went well yesterday. The IRC log can be found at
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2018/tor-meeting2.2018-09-11-18.01.lo...
The result we ended up with on the pad is:
""" I think we need at least two further alpha builds before declaring TBA stable.
2nd alpha release (maybe mid-November 2018) -------------------------------------------
MUST: Integration into tor-browser-build (sisbell) MUST: Orbot integration (sisbell/sysrqb) MUST: Integration of some kind of Orbot launcher (sysrqb/sisbell/mcs/brade) MUST: Improved linkability/fingerprinting resistance parity to Tor Browser on desktop (igt0) SHOULD: UX parity to desktop (igt0) SHOULD: Reproducible build (sisbell) SHOULD: Clarify how we provide TBA updates (including delivering TBA over F-Droid) (team) SHOULD: Come up with and implement the Orfox->Tor Browser for Android transition process (team) SHOULD: Provide localized Tor Browser for Android (geko/team)
3rd alpha release (maybe end of december 2018) ----------------------------------------------
MUST: Reproducbile build (sisbell) MUST: PT support (sysrqb/sisbell) MUST: Linkability/fingerprinting resistance parity to Tor Browser on desktop (igt0) MUST: UX parity to desktop (igt0) MUST: clarify how we provide TBA updates (including delivering TBA over F-Droid) (team) MUST: Come up with and implement the Orfox->Tor Browser for Android transition process (team) MUST: Provide localized Tor Browser for Android (geko/team) SHOULD: Provide arm and x86 builds as well (sisbell/team)
Other tasks not accounted for above -----------------------------------
-Using Necko? (GeKo: I think we postpone that for after 1.0) -Ticket triage for the above things to get a better feeling about work scope (sysrqb started with it it seems, great!) (GeKo: We'll do more triaging while hammering down the details in Mexico)
-If you make it to be on par with Tor Browser for Desktop, then give it the same version number, i.e. 8.5a1. (GeKo: Yes, we might want to do that eventually. Maybe we even bind the 8.5 release to the first TBA stable release to have a Tor Browser 8.5 across all platforms. However, we postpone that decision and go with a 1.0aX scheme for now as it is not exactly clear when we'll be ready) """
