objectives:
- title: Make GNU Taler legally available to users in the EU via retail banks
text: "We will make GNU Taler available to the European public as a commercial payment system.
This will create the globally first software-based payment solution that offers strict technical
privacy assurances for buyers in e-commerce. Additionally, GNU Taler’s design offers real-time external
auditing of the payment service provider by independent third parties based on cryptographic signatures covering
all processes in the entire payment system, thus creating a milestone in accountability."
- title: Ensure GNU Taler is accepted as a payment solution by European retailers
text: "We will provide merchants with an open payment standard with lower prices. End-consumers will enjoy improved
shopping experience and preservation of personal data. Besides these two benefits, merchants can better protect their
market expertise and shield it from potential competitors by avoiding competitor platforms which abuse their knowledge
and/or data. We will integrate GNU Taler into the diverse work-flows of a multitude of businesses through open calls’
integration and other interested parties."
- title: Improve the technical maturity of the GNU Taler software
text: "We will perform security reviews of key components of the GNU Taler system and then ensure that relevant components
are available for Windows, MacOS and various GNU/Linux distributions. We will automate packaging for these platforms and port
the WebExtension to additional browsers. We will furthermore implement various additional features that were already requested
by community members (citizens or retailers). For example, a publisher wants to offer a discount on a subscription to readers
that recently purchased individual articles. Part of this objective is to address such requests, including new ideas that are
proposed during the project."
- title: Raise the awareness for the project in the general public
text: "With GNU Taler, citizens will experience a much higher online shopping convenience, especially for low-valued items like
digital goods. To pay with GNU Taler, they will need no registration, no log-in, and no complicated multi-factor authentication
over multiple devices — just one simple click for the young and the old. Citizens will also experience improved privacy online.
This may especially feel good while supporting (investigative) journalism. Less tracking for advertising, fewer account-based payments,
less phishing, less identity theft — all predicated on GNU Taler enabling micro-payments with better privacy — will improve online security.
We will explain these advantages to citizens, using various large-scale communication channels in existence."

logo: images/logo-ps.svg

role: Petites singularités operates the TALER Integration Community Hub to facilitate
socially inclusive adoption of NGI payment technology GNU Taler, notably by stakeholders
from the independent book sector, e-Health sector (with eSeniors), and the free
software ICT supply chain (with NLnet).
statement: 'GNU Taler is the only serious candidate alternative to existing global
market payment solutions and, contrary to them, GNU Taler supports EU values:
it''s free software implementing open standards to guarantee a fair, transparent
and sovereign technology; it provides auditable, therefore taxable sales, while
preserving anonymity of the buyer, much like cash.'
