Then towards the final evaluation deadline, 28, we should be hurrying up to wrap up, prepare the final release and announce it. I think there's enough time left for us to accomplish this final release.

This week, my plan was to work on my 2.2 github issues, get it reviewed by you, well test johnny, update french translation, update changelog, wiki, wrap-up release, build well-tested binaries for platforms until the firm pencil down date(august 21th). After GSOC is over, on the week of august 21st to 28th, I can't spend a lot of time on johnny since I need to clean my new apartment, paint it and move my stuck there with a truck I rent since school will start at the end of august. My university (and my apartment) is 7 hours away from my summer home(parents) so this complicates the situation. I also need to go buy a used fridge and an oven for my apartment. So that's why I'd like to do as much as possible for the release before the end of GSOC. I'm not sure if we're gonna have time to put a WELL-TESTED, not rushed, *2john support in version 2.2. Especially because *2john requires much thought on Windows because python/perl etc. isn't installed by default, maybe it requires modifying the installer to download the latest community supported .exe scripts from openwall wiki automatically like Rich suggested. Also, the script have different interfaces.
I appreciate being upfront on this. We'll strive to wrap it up this week in this case.

Let's limit what we do for 2john. No .exe scripts for now, just invoke them via QProcess::startDetached("/bin/sh", QStringList() << "./x2john.py"); and rely on the shell. Display the errors if such is the result and abort the operation. Yes, this will imply only supporting Unix for this.
As for the UI, I suggest we stick to the menu for the Open password file action, but instead of listing all supported formats, the second action could be "Other file format (*2john)". Upon triggering, it should display the widget you proposed.
