Today: Clickable wireframes for advanced client UI, thinking beyond current UI (e.g., incorporating submission management features).
Blockers: None, but comments on wireframes welcome here: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/issues/102

- grsec recap from Mickael: Managed to get kernel compiled, working as template VM inside Qubes. Managed to provision svs disp VM to use grsec enabled template. The big question that is remaining is how we will ship the grsec template to the workstation. The best option seems to be the Qubes builder, provisioning via dom0. There's also the possibility to do it at build time. Open questions of how we are going to manage the different applications that will be running in this VM: some will require PAX flags (e.g., LibreOffice). Can be managed as part of the build process.
