This being said… I've recently decided to spend a little time working/helping on GNUnet. The first step was to have the latest version running on my machine. I've sent some patches [1][] and I've been happily running a node (0.12.2) for few days now. [1]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=39673 The second step is to use some of the tools on top of GNUnet! The `re:claimID` [2][] extension works but somehow the demo site [3][] doesn't. I opened an issue upstream and moved to `groupchat` [4][]. [2]: https://reclaimid.gitlab.io [3]: https://demo.reclaim-identity.io/login [4]: https://gnunet.org/en/use.html#groupchat I started by updating nim to 1.0.6 (patch accepted) and played a bit with the code. `groupchat` seems to be a little software with only one dependency… but I'm kinda stuck! The only thing I've figured out so far is that I cannot rely on `nimble` (the package manager `groupchat` uses)! Any help/advice would really be highly appreciated! -- Tanguy
