There's a reason these projects have been on that page practically forever. They are all highly specialized, require a lot of domain knowledge and a significant effort.
- martin_a 10y agoI think Gnash could be kicked from that list. Let Flash die.
- scrollaway 10y agoShumway is far more promising and it's backed by Mozilla, which does have the domain knowledge. https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
- nextos 10y agoTheir list is a bit outdated I think. Some items are still relevant, but IMHO some big priorities are: * OS packaging tools that provide sandboxing and dependency resolution, in a saner way than containers. Contributing to Guix or Nix would be ideal. * A mobile OS that has at least a completely free userland. In the short term, only Android derivatives seem plausible. The Guardian Project + Copperhead OS + F-Droid alliance seems very interesting and worth contributing to: https://guardianproject.info/2016/03/28/copperhead-guardian-project-and-f-droid-partner-to-build-open-verifiably-secure-mobile-ecosystem/ https://guardianproject.info/2016/03/28/copperhead-guardian-... * Decent multi-device messaging, to replace WhatsApp et al. Something like Matrix or Ring, or Signal without Google Cloud Messaging.
