   Converting dangerous documents to safe P

   From: nobody@erienetworks.net   
      
   Today, we added documentation on our website to install Dangerzone   
   in Tails.   
      
   When you receive untrusted documents, for example, email   
   attachments, Dangerzone allows you to convert them into safe PDFs   
   before opening.   
      
   Dangerzone https://dangerzone.rocks/ is particularly useful for   
   journalists who might receive dangerous documents from anonymous   
   sources or download them from the Internet.   
      
   Dangerzone is an essential tool and is built by great people. It   
   was first written by Micah Lee to protect investigative   
   journalists while working at The Intercept. Dangerzone is now   
   maintained by Freedom of the Press Foundation, a non-profit that   
   protects public-interest journalism. Edward Snowden and Laura   
   Poitras are on its Board of Directors.   
      
   It's totally the kind of software that aligns with our mission.   
   The only reason why we are not including Dangerzone in Tails by   
   default is because Dangerzone is too big and not available in   
   Debian.   
      
   So, we collaborated with Alex Pyrgiotis from Freedom of the Press   
   Foundation to make it as easy as possible to install Dangerzone in   
   Tails as Additional Software. The setup requires using the command   
   line, but, after that, Dangerzone will install automatically every   
   time you start Tails.   
      
   Dangerzone will allow more investigative journalists to use the   
   safe environment that Tails provides when manipulating sensitive   
   documents.   
      
   It's also the first time that we recommend installing a 3rd party   
   package that is not available in Debian. We know that a lot of   
   software that would be useful for our users is not readily   
   available in Debian. If this first experiment is successful, we   
   might document more such packages.
