Since it seams to be low interest/need of an SDK or hardware campaign right now, then it may be a good idea to explore other options.
I like the SDK idea. I was told though that it was a tremendous effort to get the GStreamer SDK going. So I guess that a GNOME one will be even more challenging. I also like the WebKit idea although it feels a little bit detached to me. So far, I do like the idea of a privacy campaign best. And I see your concern about the right timing. I guess we can prepare it and then launch it once we think it's good to go. The list that Jake gave us during his keynote at GUADEC is probably good material to work with:
Empathy should support OTR and it should be enabled by default (like adium) I heard this so many times, I nearly stopped asking for feedback at all! ZRTP/SRTP/TLS for all VoIP services (forward secrecy and strong crypto) Tor controller extension for gnome-shell – why settle for only having Vidalia? What if we could contextually launch applications anonymously? A 'Launch Torified' context for applications (perhaps with torsocks?)- NAT? Who cares? How about 'single-click file sharing over hidden services? Decentralized instant messaging – resist traffic analysis (Federated XMPP HS? For extra fun add decentralized and anonymous offline message queuing.) network-manager improvements: Ability to configure wireless networks before connecting to them VPN 'automatically connect' checkbox should work and no traffic should leak before the VPN comes up. VPN connections must fail closed. Ability to override DNS settings for all connections. macchanger support in network-manager Random MAC addresses per connection or per if-up Ability to use a Tor DNS resolver on unpriviliged port Normal modem support Full Tor support in NetworkManager Think of it as a free VPN Full Guest mode in Gnome/GDM that uses Tor by default for all network traffic – don't just refuse to write data to the disk, refuse to write information to the bare network too
