[stem/master] Improving our FAQ and making entries more succinct
by atagar＠torproject.org 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

commit 8680265c7e27f1c9bb8c18ca96b1b204f3013003 Author: Damian Johnson <atagar(a)torproject.org> Date: Sun Mar 23 22:32:59 2014 -0700 Improving our FAQ and making entries more succinct Reordering and rewording our FAQ. This moves examples for the 'How do I connect to Tor?' examples to their respective modules to both make the FAQ entry more readable, and the modules more informative.
