- Savannah - I've been waiting for many months since I submitted a new project but it's still not approved. Nobody care to respond when I ask what's going on. This is obviously frustrating.

Planned software and releases
Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)
January 27 2021: Central bank digital cash could come to 20% of the world in three years - BIS
"The history of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) is a short, recent history. CBDCs are still in a conceptual stage, with many countries exploring their possible implementation." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_CBDCs_by_country.
List CBDCs on directory.fsf.org when these articles have been created and listed in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Central_bank_digital_currencies:
- Sweden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-krona

FreeAMO
I think it's a good idea to rewamp https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/directory.git/tree/subprojects/freeamo when the thunderbird 78.0-based software (icedove) has landed in Guix (done), Hyperbola (WAITING), Parabola (WAITING), Trisquel (done).
Firefox
- Firefox 95: Add "Open Containing Folder" context menu to search results of bookmarks in the Library window (link to view/open enclosing folder, parent folder button)
- It's not convenient to organize the Library without this feature.
- Firefox 83: HTTPS-Only Mode in Firefox: "Starting in Firefox version 83, you can change your preferences to HTTPS-Only Mode. This security enhancing mode forces all connections to websites to use HTTPS. Most websites already support HTTPS; some support both HTTP and HTTPS. Enabling this mode provides a guarantee that all of your connections to websites are upgraded to use HTTPS and hence secure. Learn more about the benefits and how to enable HTTPS-Only Mode. " - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs
- How to enable it: Settings -> Privacy & Security -> HTTPS-Only Mode: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows
- Due to the widespread adoption of HTTPS on the internet, and the integration of HTTPS-only mode on major browsers, WebExtension such as HTTPS Everywhere was retired.
Comming up:
- Project Fission: "Fission is Mozilla's project to implement Firefox site isolation. This introduces a major architecture change in Firefox such that a unique process is allocated for the main web page and for each unique third-party iframe embedded in it, thereby safely sandboxing them and further strengthening Firefox security." - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission
- Check the status 2021: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission#Milestones

- Making a macro to a well known game for speedrun can be made to make world records. Even if using keyboard macros would be cheating the game, it would still be unique (I've not seen a macro being used on any game video on YouTube for example) and may be useful to demonstrate specific stage details.

Multiboot disk image tools
Importance: USB drives like Kingston DataTraveler Max, allows really quick system installations from GNU/Linux distribution ISO files. I assume that the FSF office has downloaded copies of https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html, a collection of these GNU/Linux ISO installation files can be copied to a Kingston DataTraveler Max USB drive with ventoy installed.

- issue: Ventoy doesn't work with Libreboot #1759

MultiBoot is not as simple as Ventoy, but it works for legacy systems.
Computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) software: Learning multiple languages through online courses are part of an emerging trend, which in many ways are more accessible compared with in-class courses. However, only proprietary apps exist.
LanguageTool clone
We need a free option to LanguageTool.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LanguageTool
"LanguageTool is a free and open-source grammar checker, and all its features are available for download. LanguageTool website connects to a proprietary sister project LanguageTool Plus, which provides improved error detection for English and German, as well as easier revision of longer texts, following the open-core model. LanguageTool Plus also uses n-grams as part of its freemium business model
LanguageTool web service can be used via a web interface in a web browser, or via a specialized client-side plug-ins for Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, Vim, Emacs, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Google Chrome. Its web app client can also be integrated on websites."
It would be useful to write plugins to privacy focused chat software, including:

Drug legality
A database that list all classified substances for each country, and an API that enables developers to access it. For example, this will enable developers to build an app that can be used to show which substances that are legal and illegal in a selected country, and the typical penalty for given amounts. This can prevent tourist to avoid risks they might be totally unaware of, or might introduce them to therapeutic possibilities (eg ayahuasca retreats).

- Chrome Web Store missing extension License
I've sent this message 16 Aug 2015 to [libreplanet-discuss](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2015-08/msg00030.html), and repeatedly to the FSF, RMS: Chrome Web Store is the official Chrome web browser website for supported exentions. However, it can also be used to install extensions to the free variants of Chrome known as Chromium and Iridium (built on Chromium + improved privacy). Iridium (unstable) can be installed from: https://launchpad.net/~strukturag/+archive/ubuntu/iridium-unstable. Iridiums extension directory is located in ~/.config/iridium/Default/Extensions/. However, Chrome Web Store do not show the license for the extensions which makes it hard to verify which extensions that are free or not. You have to install the extension and manually look into the source code of each files in the extension directory. I suggest that the FSF contact Google (https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/business/devices/contact.html) and ask them to add "License(s)" to the default text to the extensions in Chrome Web Store so we can build a verified free repository in the FSD. # Response 30 Mar 2017 > DBH: I don't want to burden you, should I ask them myself every 3rd month for example? > RMS: Today I had a discussion about it. Sooner or later, things will start moving.
