Development
#1

SecureDrop is using Whonix-Qubes:

Hope someone can document that into our wiki with further testing.

maybe testing as well non-qubes-whonix as well.

If someone wanted to give it a go it would be great. Might be a good idea to wait a until the bugs/shortcomings are worked out before thinking about adding to wiki.

This project is under active development, has known bugs and shortcomings, and is not ready for end users. This README is geared towards interested technical users and developers.

Hi TNT_BOM_BOM,

There is a bit of info on the Windows page i.e. MacOS section towards the bottom. I took out the best info from the GNU page and put it there. It could be expanded, but I’m trying to work on other stuff (although short of time at the minute)

Yes, agreed.

Whoops, I removed that TODO too early… :slight_smile: Good work you’re doing there

I think we should reference that on whichever pages talks about who uses Whonix (or good references page i.e. one where the guy thanks Patrick for firewall rules or similar).

If these guys use Whonix in the chain for SecureDrop, then that is a solid recommendation we should highlight, yes?

The road towards an integrated SecureDrop Workstation could be mentioned as “others are building on top of Whonix” somewhere. Not for functionality. For project self-description purposes.

Also Qubes Partners | Qubes OS could mention “Whonix is a partner of Qubes” somewhere.

We should have a wiki page set up for this purpose. Well respected projects that build/use Whonix.

Not sure we have enough content for that?

Perhaps suitable (multiple possible):

Hi Patick

Very odd. No Scripts/HTPS Everywhere disabled and log still will not render. :thinking:

Will do. Looking back, this likely contributed to (numerous?) support requests.

Edit: Whonix and Freedom of the Press Foundation are the only 2 logos that will not render on Qubes Partners | Qubes OS
