<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone, I'm olssy and have about 8 years experience in PHP CMS development, integration, testing and migration. I'm currently working on a migration from a custom CMS to Drupal for <a href="http://www.2600.com">www.2600.com</a> as well as a bit of redesigning of their site. I main expertise is in PHP, MySQL, CSS3 and Javascript and get great pleasure from doing massive migrations of content using command line tools. I would also like to mention that Drupal offers many ways to generate static pages.<div>

<br>
We are at 89 subscribers on the www-team mailing list. That's quite a<br>
success! Welcome to all! Feel free to introduce yourself on your first<br>
post.<br>
<br>
I was hoping to wait some more time before kicking off discussions,<br>
but it looks like we are already starting. :)<br>
<br>
Rohan Smith:<br>
<div>> I am willing to assist and would like to get some high level<br>
> information about the goals of this project.<br>
<br>
</div>Our main issue right now is that the current website is trying to serve<br>
too many audiences at once. Andrew identified 5 different audiences in<br>
<<a href="https://bugs.torproject.org/5998" target="_blank">https://bugs.torproject.org/5998</a>>. We need to design either several<br>
websites, or a single website that better address the needs of these<br>
audiences. Introductory material regarding how Tor works and how to use<br>
it must be translatable.<br>
<br>
The following wiki page also contains some notes from discussion we had<br>
during the 30C3. Feel free to amend it with any relevant information<br>
regarding the website redesign:<br>
<<a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/Website" target="_blank">https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/Website</a>><br>
<br>
Technically, the website is currently constructed using WML. While it<br>
works, it will feel ancient to anyone who tried a recent static website<br>
generator like Jekyll. Getting support for Markdown formated pages would<br>
probably help more people to write content.<br>
<br>
The current website code is available using Subversion:<br>
<<a href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/website/trunk/" target="_blank">https://svn.torproject.org/svn/website/trunk/</a>><br>
<div><br>
> It also piqued my interest because the current site is done with<br>
> Drupal and that is my area of expertise.<br>
<br>
</div>To be clear about this: the blog is currently made with Drupal, but the<br>
idea is to either convert it to a static website generator now or to<br>
integrate it while redoing the website.<br>
<br>
For more information about the blog conversion, feel free to look at the<br>
tickets already opened by Andrew:<br>
