I want the more collaborative part of the hackfest to begin without
waiting for $SOMEONE for 12 hours, so I've been working on iceweasel
17 + torbrowser patches packages today. Untested yet, but it went
well, and hopefully there will be a test ISO online tomorrow around
1pm UTC.

Ticket is at https://tails.boum.org/todo/torbrowser_17/

Help for testing this ISO, and the next ones possibly (or just package
updates that can be pulled using apt-get) will be muuuuch welcome
between the 1st and 4th of February.

It will be possible to participate by following either tails-dev or
IRC. I guess the one or the other will have something the other has
not, occasionally, but I'll try to make it possible to participate
even when following only one + the ticket.

Cheers,
