Jeremy Rand:
Week of 15 and 22 June (actual):
Ask for feedback on latest Namecoin patches to Tor Browser on
Reddit.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Namecoin/comments/hbf9fq/we_need_more_testers_for_the_namecoin_tor_browser/
Got some decent feedback. At this point it looks like the
primary request from testers is adding macOS and Windows support.
Upstream Electrum released a couple of betas of Electrum 4.0.0.
Started looking at rebasing Namecoin's patches to 4.0.0 (most are
rebased continuously, but a few only get rebased for releases.)
Dealing with various funding-related things e.g. NLnet proposal.
Discussed having Namecoin issue a statement about the OTF situation.
Tried to activate my GitLab account, failed.
Week of 29 June (planned):
Look more seriously at what's needed to port the Namecoin
support to macOS/Windows.
Keep working on rebasing Namecoin's patches to Electrum 4.0.0.
Continue working on upstreaming Namecoin's Electrum patches.
Continue talking to NLnet about funding things.
Issue a formal statement from Namecoin about the OTF situation
(hopefully it helps).
Hopefully get my GitLab account sorted out.
