Tox is also alpha software which has not been formally audited, therefore it is less trusted.
formally audited is a very high hoop to jump through. Not much software has been formally audited ever. And even formal audit isn’t a “replaced brakes” alike operation. It’s like a “medical checkup”. It can mean many things, can be superficial and cheap or it can be super throughly and cost hundreds of thousands.
OK - will fix that.
One question is where HexChat & RetroShare sit in the recs list. Now we have:
Also, the “Change the System or Tor Browser Language” page has Qubes-Whonix applicable stuff in it e.g. Tor Browser language changes, so it should also be moved up to where the Keyboard page went (and out of the Non-qubes-whonix Only section of ToC). Plus, Whonix has lots of non-English users, so it will be a Whonix 1st step for many users i.e. keyboard + language changes e.g. German in your case.
http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Language
We can mark the System Language Changes section as Non-Qubes-Whonix only in that page (although some bits of that look like they would work in Qubes-Whonix e.g. Korean and Russian language changes i.e. if they would work in Debian-9 TemplateVM, they would work in Whonix-WS TemplateVM and propogate?)
In fact, only “System - All languages” looks non-qubes-whonix specific.
All the (huge) Bitcoin stuff here:
http://www.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/wiki/Money#Bitcoin
Should be moved to a stand-alone page, and out of the Money page. And also listed as a stand-alone link on the main ToC with all the other crypto-currencies.
(Will also need a nice image then too @nurmagoz if split off).
Then, the money page is a high-level overview. Of course, particular emphasis can be given to the reader reviewing the Bitcoin page in conjunction, since it is the most popular cryptocurrency by a wide margin.
I guess:
Is proper recommended order for recs?
Actually, much is KDE-specific or non-Qubes-Whonix only.
Some bits ‘kind of’ work in Qubes-Whonix. Russian instructions have Russian language appearing in all VM apps instead of English, just not Russian keyboard input even when set to default. Ditto Korean using dpkg-locales reconfig.
(e.g. keyboard input for Korean would require ibus-hangul or similar installed in TemplateVM, which allows easy switching. Proper presentation of all characters would also require fonts-unfonts-core. That seems to work in Debian 9, so would work in whonix-ws-14 templateVM. Russian would have similar steps).
So I guess leave it where it is and don’t bother with instructions for Qubes-Whonix i.e. user’s / Qubes OS documentation problem (“not our bug”). The Tor Browser page already has a link to changing Tor Browser language bit (which covers off Qubes-Whonix), so that’s fine.
I’m not sure there is actually a full language presentation change that is possible system-wide for Qubes i.e. every menu, every dropdown, dom0, Qubes Manager etc appearing in Japanese, or Russian or whatever? Probably they haven’t implemented full language features yet since it would be a huge task?
I don’t see any instructions for that on their wiki or docs - so maybe users are stuck with English, system-wide presentation at least.
Gajim
HexChat
Ricochet IM
Tox
RetroShare
Gajim: better usability, more jabber users, offline messages.
Ricochet IM: lengthy setup
Tox: not packaged for Debian
RetroShare: Outdated keys.
HexChat: not really a messenger but I guess it is ok to be left there since it’s Chat.
Live Mode for Kicksecure instructions are still a bit “wild”. These are correct by the letter, technical, “method focused” but these are not unified blocks to be consumed by less-technical users who just want step by step instructions that just work.
Once that is fixed I agree, Whonix Live deserves to be promoted in much more popular places on our website.
The formatting now should help.
HexChat, ZeroNet & IM messenger overview page → all fixed.
Just RetroShare, MixMaster and Signal to fix in that section.
1. I gather RetroShare works in (Qubes-)Whonix, but that just some of the security issues could be tighter? e.g.
Allow alternative proxy addresses · Issue #356 · RetroShare/RetroShare · GitHub
&
⚓ T560 finish RetroShare over Tor port redirection instructions
On the wiki page, it says:
“INCOMPLETE - Depends on unimplemented features for Whonix”
That makes it sound like it doesn’t work, instead of (the probable intended meaning) “It works, but not with the best possible anonymity/security settings”.
2. Signal stuff says “Incomplete”. If it doesn’t work with those steps and it is just a basic skeleton, then I think we remove it from the main ToC i.e. because it is non-functional and not up to wiki standard for users.
3. That MixMaster page needs major reworking the way all the content is across 2 pages (Nym Server stuff can stay separate). Right now the main page is less useful than some of the Dev stuff.
Could someone please write a call for testers news for Live Mode for Kicksecure ™ - Kicksecure?
Nit: says unfinished rather than incomplete.
To answer your question: The instructions work as is but they are not elaborate / not pretty, not referencing usual disclaimers from Install Additional Software Safely.
Sometimes I am using the wiki as a scratch pad. I don’t mind about the ToC entry but I would like to keep the page even if noindexed.
Mixmaster: Tor Remailer is a scratch pad with all the setup that was initially required. Most of it has been applied by default to Whonix to improve usability. So instructions on Mixmaster: Tor Remailer alone should be enough. That page was created during an earlier period of Whonix development where I wanted to show that almost anything can be combined with Whonix. (Kinda unlikely being an actual user of ZeroNet, Jondonym, i2p, mixmaster, remailers, proxy, ssh, VPN, bitmessage, various chat, voip and crypto currency clients, ftp, ssh, vnc, usenet, yacy, rss, freenet, gnunet, and whatnot. Some things were interesting for a time but then dropped.)
Haven’t used in years and unclear user interest. That might explain the “rotten” state of some things. Luckily many applications change little over time so things remain useful. Appreciate all efforts of upkeep!
i suggest being hesitant with gajim. for vanilla use over tor, it worked well enough. however, once i started trying to use omemo effectively, there were a lot of pitfalls. in some instances, it failed open (ie. unencrypted message sent). also, i was running into a bug here and there which i could not isolate. basically, a number of the tick boxes in the “privacy” section of “preferences → advanced” would re-enable after i disabled them for some reason. additionally, unless there has been a sea change, there is no functional otr plugin for gajim at the moment.
Reinstalling Qubes-Whonix TemplateVMs page created and finished. Mistakenly added all content using admin privileges so I deleted page and started over. Also I’m not sure about the page title. Know it needs to be a redirect from Qubes/ ?
https://whonix.org/w/index.php?title=Reinstall_Qubes-Whonix_TemplateVMs&oldid=39242&diff=cur
OK, great.
So, basically they just need a bit of polish or minor updates (except for Signal which needs a bit more work). No big deal. Should be able to do the testers post if you like.
Interesting - that is a major security issue with Gajim if that is the case. Happens with absolutely latest version available etc? Is that an open issue on their tracker?
Probably shouldn’t sit at the top of the list then. Although I know Micah Lee also likes it and he is pretty solid on advice normally.
Good work! 
Did a minor edit.
I’ll have this finished a little later on. Unless @torjunkie is planning on it
Yes, I discovered boxes! 
I’ll get the formatting correct eventually. Well, maybe.
Edit: Should a term other than “dummy template” be used when moving vms to the cloned template? It could get confused with an actual dummy template in Qubes Unintall. i.e. dummy templates do not have a file system
Yes, wrong term I used there. Please change to something appropriate. PS there is no “correct” with editing, just differences in opinion One person’s box is another one’s bane. 
Please, go ahead. I’m a little spent at the minute, so might take a breather for a bit anyhow.
Personally, I think the wiki is 50% improved since the website changes, improved stability and everyone’s efforts. I think Whonix forum traffic for simple shit also dropped by 50%, except for the usual offenders e.g. VPNs, install/re-install, Tor won’t bootstrap Qs, and clock fixes/time sync.
Take those out of the equation, and it is very quiet. Just like it should be when the software is blessedly stable and the important parts of the documentation actually work (mostly).
Yes what I wrote was true at the time but may very well have changed. I don’t think we should endorse retroshare anymore because of the serious security bugs/RCEs uncovered all over in an audit. While the concept is awesome, the implementation is lacking and it would be irresponsible to endorse it for a user base that may have serious sec requirements.
I think we should deprecate install instructions and leave the info about the state of its codebase as a warning to those who might consider it.
Whonix VirtualBox/KVM Live-mode Testers Wanted!
Whonix now has the option of booting into a live system . When live-mode is chosen, all write operations will go to RAM instead of the hard disk. The primary objective of live-mode is to prevent malware from gaining a persistent foothold and to return the system to its state prior to booting.
System with low resources:
If Whonix is running on a system will low RAM it is recommended that all non-essential processes are shutdown on the host. This will free up memory to allocate the virtual machines if needed.
Configuration instructions for live-mode:
https://whonix.org/wiki/Whonix_Live#Live-mode_Configuration
Note: Live-mode is currently unsupported with Qubes-Whonix

Thanks to @Algernon and everyone else who made live-mode possible.

Excellent! I moved to:
This is because other Qubes docs are also in Qubes/ hierarchy. (Could
be reconsidered but I guess it is good like that (SEO).)
Added some TODOs to Reinstall Qubes-Whonix Templates.
Any other advantage of Manual Reinstallation method other than The advantage of this method is, that it also works with non-Fedora based Qubes dom0 UpdateVMs, i.e. also with Debian based Qubes dom0 UpdateVMs.
(just now added by me).?
