KeyDerive

  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

    • 2

      Set up the Android development stack, and install KeyDerive on your Android device. Currently, the code base is small, so if you're a developer, it shouldn't be hard to dive in!

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with KeyDerive that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      One-click WiFi configuration

      KeyDerive should give the user a button to scan WiFi access points, guess vulnerable APs, derive their keys, and try to connect to them. It doesn't now.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.
