Hello
Tor,
During
January the UX team have been collaborating with the Community
Team on creating our new outreach material. Our ongoing work
with Personas allowed us to create content focused on each
different use case and user goal. We are going to have it
localized and ready for download and print for organizations and
partners who want to use them with their local communities. You
can sneak peek them now:
TBA is
going to reach stable probably in March, and we worked closely
with the mobile team to provide an intuitive and smooth
experience for users connecting to Tor. The work is currently in
development, and you can follow our design discussions here:
Are you
a Tor Browser Alpha kind of person? If yes, you already saw our
new Tor Browser icon in action. If not, you can experience it by
downloading our Alpha here (you can give us feedback also!)
Thanks pospeselr for this shiny implementation!
Pilar
started a kanban board to track our open projects. You can lurk
them here:
During
our global-south travel in Colombia last year, we met Bea. She
is an activist and a Tor and Tails heavy user. We put her in
contact with our friends at Tails and Sajolida interviewed her.
They made it public this month, and you can read it:
We are
still working with OONI on Explorer revamp. January was the time
for the Country pages redesign. Our goals with this redesign
are: giving an understanding to a visitor about how
comprehensive and reliable the data OONI has on that country,
present high-level findings, provide insights that act as an
entry point to the search pages and cross-reference link to OONI
research reports for that country. Maria coordinated usability
research for our first wireframe iteration with partners, and it
gave us light on how researchers are using Explorer nowadays and
what they expect for the next iteration. That allowed us to work
in a new round of high definition mockups focusing on how we are
displaying data and how we are enabling the interface for
researchers to compare across data sets. Take a
look at this hottie that Elio is working on:
The new
Tor Project website is about to see the light, and we are
polishing details in staging to make it possible:
Caroline
Sinders is joining us this quarter as our User Research
Coordinator. We put together the plans for our user Research for
this Q119. We want to collect feedback on our new Onboarding and
also on our new Security Settings. You can read them here:
Gaba and
Pilar collected priorities and needs for each team at the
project. The UX Team ones for this 2019 are listed here:
Hiro and
I proposed a new feature for OnionShare that allows users to
publish ephemeral .onion sites by merely dragging and dropping a
folder inside OnionShare. This month, we got micahflee blessing,
and it is scheduled for the next 2.1 release. You can read more

Are you
a person interested on end-users? If you arrived to the end of
this email, probably yes. Remember that our weekly meetings
happen every Tuesday at 1400 UTC in #tor-meeting on OFTC.
See you
online!
