<p>Hi all, <br>
</p>
<p>My name is Mona and I'm excited to join the tor Outreachy
project. <br>
</p>
<p>I have been working in the software industry almost a year now.
My current role is QA Developer, but my first role was a combined
"QA and Support" role. My first company was privacy-oriented and I
was excited that I would have the opportunity to learn about
online privacy, but it was acquired by the current one, whose
goals are quite different. <br>
</p>
<p>Naturally I felt this project would be interesting both in terms
of my own learning goals and in terms of my past experience
working in support. My formal education is a B.Sc. in Computer
Science and an M.A. in Cultural Anthropology. I do have a lot of
experience writing in English but I am also interested in the
opportunity for interns to do some front-end development. I know
the basics of HTML/CSS but most of my coding experience has been
in scripting and currently QA automation (mostly Javascript now,
interfacing with a REST API and cucumber using Appium and
webdriverIO, but I've also used Java and Python). <br>
</p>
<p>Because I'm currently working full-time, I expect to undertake my
work for the contribution period primarily on the weekends with a
little here and there during weekdays, but I'm also taking a week
"vacation" from work the week of the 14th-18th, and most likely a
couple days again during the last few days of the contribution
period. I'll make sure to be available online for the Monday
meetings as well. Please let me know if my plan "makes sense" on
your end. </p>
<p>I'm looking forward to getting to know the tor community and
other Outreachy participants. <br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Mona<br>
</p>

Keep our documentation updated: When new versions of Tor Browser are
released, we need to update the Tor Browser User Manual with any
usage details and explanations of new features as well as with updated
screenshots.
Fix small layout issues with our Tor Browser Manual
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://tb-manual.torproject.org/"><https://tb-manual.torproject.org/></a> and
Support websites <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://support.torproject.org/"><https://support.torproject.org/></a>.

any common user issues found throughout all of our support channels.
