• NLnet project
• taler.net

  • [x] sync (already in nixpkgs)
  • [x] challenger (already in nixpkgs)
  • [x] wallet-core (user-facing tool) #149

    This could be "fun": the CLI is reasonably easy, but the Firefox/Chromium wallets are WebExtensions (TypeScript), so making those installable via Nix might be, eh, "interesting"

• prior work:
  • https://github.com/ngi-nix/taler
  • https://github.com/ngi-nix/anastasis
  • https://github.com/ngi-nix/anastasis-gtk
• related:
  • https://github.com/ngi-nix/ngi/issues/257

There are many separate components, some of which are quite tricky to work with. The listed ones are in immediate scope and ordered by importance. The existing ones should be migrated in to the monorepo.

This project is very active and maintainers are available for answering questions.

Break down into separate issues as needed.
