what about #freedombox ?
What about it? As far as I've ever heard, it isn't remotely ready.
Note that the current release is "0.1," in other words, closer to
vaporware than product. The only active developer I know about for
certain is Nick Daly. https://github.com/NickDaly/freedom-maker The
front-end for FreedomBox hasn't seen any development in over a year.
https://github.com/jvasile/Plinth So I'm not confident that Freedombox
will ever emerge from its cocoon.
There's a marked visibility/PR problem. The email lists are the ONLY
source of info, and if you're not in the thick of it, it's hard to
tell what's going on. Even lurking on this email list, I often feel
like more is actually happening, but just isn't seeing the light of
day. I see inquiries about FreedomBox all the time, but nobody seems
to know anything about it's true state.
That said, I think freedombox is mostly about making existing
technology easy to use.
Speaking of making existing technology easy to use, see:
http://yunohost.org/
What would be great is a way to access some of the existing apps through
Tor hidden services. If yunohost had a plugin for that, then with an
app like Owncloud you wouldn't even need to set up your own domain--
just access it through any machine connected to the net through Tor.
