@teor I hereby volunteer to maintain a FAQ for operators of small relays (or noob operators). Which means I would be watching this list, generating the Q&A and from time to time alerting this list to the appearance of new questions and answers, to allow knowledgeable people to do quality control. And/or inviting people to convert their answers on this list to the FAQ answers. This would relieve them from answering the same question over and over again and reduce the influx of questions from noobs (like myself J). I believe this would also strengthen the community and reduce the frustration of small relay operators and – who knows? – even lead to advancements in Tor design to make better use of them.
I would appreciate that, but please learn some mailing list etiquette first. Otherwise, your contributions may be ignored by many people on the list.
Some examples: * make sure each email adds something valuable to the conversation * structure your emails well: * learn how to bottom-post, even if your email client doesn't support it * learn how to quote others' emails to provide context to your response * try to write succinctly * keep the volume of your emails down: * write one response to a thread each day * search for similar threads before starting a new one * wait until an active thread is finished before starting a new one
Caveat: I need someone (Tor project people) to create the Wiki on the site and let me admin it.
Demonstrate you can do the things above, and I'll gladly set this up for you.
There is already a severely underused wiki with a couple of answers that someone once referred me to, with a disastrously difficult captcha that I could not pass (why have captcha on a Wiki in the first place is beyond me)
Forum spam.
