Hi Tor, Onion Services ============== As part of our UX improvements for Onion services, Onion Prioritization is about to reach the alpha series. We are reviewing the last user interface's details here https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21952 We should consolidate the Onion identity presence in clients' URL Bar. We are working on it here https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32645 WWW === We discussed the next iteration of the download page, specifically the privacy trade-offs between offering a one-click download experience vs. our current download flow. We created an improved version, and we are collecting feedback from users to inform our next iteration. https://lektor-staging.torproject.org/tpo/develop/download/ https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32749 We worked in minor (but noticeable!) UI fixes in tpo.org. Thanks, c1e0! S9 == Pili submitted the Sponsor 9 Year 2 report relating our work with communities in the Global South. If you are interested in reading more about the work we have been doing in the field, email me, and I'll send you a copy. Nah coordinated the user research ran with Karisma in Colombia and with the Zaina Foundation in Tanzania. We will upload their reporting soon. S30 === We are working with OONI on S30 related tickets. During December, we worked on exposing the Circumvention test in end-users UI, both for desktop and mobile clients. https://github.com/orgs/ooni/projects/3 L10N ==== Community.torproject.org is getting in shape to be officially released in 2020. Emmapeel is coordinating the localization efforts for the vast amount of content the portal will hold. We are trying to define a better workflow for translations. Emmapeel suggested having translation-only branches here https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32746 Outreach ======== We presented a few proposals for the next Internet Freedom Festival. We can't wait to meet old and new friends in Valencia this year!

This work allowed us to release and share our first Tor Personas tool.  - made available Tor outreach material based on Tor Personas.  - joined OONI on revamping and releasing the new explorer.ooni.org  - opened a #tor-ux room  - launched Tor Browser 8.5 and 9.0 with a new Tor Browser icon, an improved version of Security Settings, New Identity, Network Settings core features. We also released Tor Browser for Android on our stable channels.  - started to define how the future of Onion services will look like  - supported the anti-censorship team on releasing the Snowflake browser extension.  - supported the fundraising team in our major donation campaigns. It was a pleasure to collaborate with designers, developers, researchers, and project advocates during 2019. I hope we can continue creating technology for liberation together in 2020, too.
