More people are looking for solutions to effectively protect their privacy. 93% of the people we met doing 1:1 usability studies said they knew they needed some protection online. More people need robust censorship circumvention tools as internet freedom declines around the world.

commit a9dc014e3fc04d13d8595127a1a5dcbba66adb54 Author: juga0 <juga(a)riseup.net> Date: Tue Mar 26 08:39:30 2019 +0000 fix: docs: Remove contributing from readme and move contributing from the root directory to the docs/ one, since it links to testing but testing is not in the root directory. This way when a user only reads the readme locally, does not try to find testing in the root directory and instead will search for more documentation in docs/. --- README.md | 6 ------ docs/source/CONTRIBUTING.rst | 1 - CONTRIBUTING.rst => docs/source/contributing.rst | 0 docs/source/index.rst | 2 +- 4 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 8c57464..e796e46 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -42,12 +42,6 @@ Deploying and running See [./DEPLOY.rst](DEPLOY.rst) (in local directory or GitHub) or [DEPLOY.html](DEPLOY.html) (local build or Read the Docs). -Contributing --------------- - -See [./CONTRIBUTING.rst](CONTRIBUTING.rst) (in local directory or GitHub) or -[CONTRIBUTING.html](CONTRIBUTING.html) (local build or Read the Docs). - Changelog -------------- diff --git a/docs/source/CONTRIBUTING.rst b/docs/source/CONTRIBUTING.rst deleted file mode 120000 index e9a8ba6..0000000 --- a/docs/source/CONTRIBUTING.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -../../CONTRIBUTING.rst \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.rst b/docs/source/contributing.rst similarity index 100% rename from CONTRIBUTING.rst rename to docs/source/contributing.rst diff --git a/docs/source/index.rst b/docs/source/index.rst index e6c5d6e..9806ef3 100644 --- a/docs/source/index.rst +++ b/docs/source/index.rst @@ -19,7 +19,6 @@ and in ``sbws`` Debian package: README INSTALL DEPLOY - CONTRIBUTING CHANGELOG AUTHORS man_sbws @@ -37,6 +36,7 @@ Included in the .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 + contributing testing documenting how_works
