Moving things forward!
by Lunar 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi! Here's a couple of tasks you could pick if you wish to move things forward regarding Tor website: Create a sitemap for the current torproject.org website ------------------------------------------------------- It would be great to have a better idea of what the website already contains. An inventory of what is already there, which personas it would interest, what ought to be split, recycled or simply thrown away would be really useful to think about the organization of the new website. … [View More]

[UI][Design] Must-Read For Anyone Working on Designing the Website
by William Papper 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi all, Here's a report on the usability of the Tor Browser Bundle: https://iscproject.org/Tor_UX_Report_v1.1_05-06-13.pdf It covers the usability of the Tor website, and it is a very informative read for anyone working on UI design. Parts such as "The download process was cumbersome due to uncertainty around whether to select the 32 or 64 bit version" are helpful to keep in mind. I hope this link helps everyone. Will

16 Jan '14

I've taken the liberty of sketching out some personas so we have somewhere to start from and build on: ``` ## Tony Johnson, Student, aged 21 Tony is a second year student at university who is studying international business. Tony has recently heard about Tor through recent mentions in the national news and would like to discover more about it Particularly he has heard from a friend that it could be used to protect his web browsing whilst using the university campus public wifi. ## Angela … [View More]

Greetings!
by Stuart Turner 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi There, My name's Stuart and I would definitely like to to help out in any way I can. I have some experience with static blog generators, specifically Jekyll and Middleman, both of which I think would be excellent options for migrating the blog. I also have a weird fascination with writing documentation, I find it quite relaxing taking technical subjects and rendering them in easy to understand ways. I know, I am slightly freakish! I am … [View More]

Localization (passive vs active user interaction)
by Griffin Boyce 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hello all, I'd like to bring up localization. Right now, translation is done on Transifex and then just put into individual translated pages. The real downside with this is that it's not obvious to users who come to a given page, how to get to that page in their language (if it even exists). What would improve this process is using a passive localization script that detects the user's browser language (like l10n.js) and then swaps out chunks of content based on that. You can … [View More]

Query about milestones
by Rey Dhuny 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

Currently we have two milestones [1]: * Tor Website 3.0 Milestones [2] * Tor Blog Replacement [3] My query is why are these two separate milestones? I believe torproject.org 3.0's blog is simple another top level section of the website: `/blog` and isn't any different from another top level section. Eric Schaefer (`ultrasandwich` on IRC) has scraped the current weblog posts and can export these to markdown or $format when the time is required [4]. When torproject.org 3.0 is launched I can't … [View More]

Analytics Data?
by Sean Rafferty 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

Is there any analytics data for the current site such as google analytics? Having this data will help prioritize the features that get developed. It's always very difficult to rebuild every feature in the MVP when replacing a website. The MVP should have only the most important ie most used features. Too often people assume what the most important features are when the analytics show otherwise. Some features are obvious (download tor) but priorities can get less clear quickly. The … [View More]

A Novice Take On **Markdown**
by Clark Venable 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

As a non-coder, I sat down this morning to learn more about Markdown. I can read html and css, though would be hard-pressed to create a valid document if given a blank page in a text editor. I use Wordpress and Joomla and can edit those template files on my Mac in Coda and BBEdit. (I mention this just to let you know where I'm coming from.) I have little interest in what is happening behind the front end. It's just a tool for me to share information with my family, friends, company, and world.… [View More]

Site maintenance vs site use
by Clark Venable 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

It may be important to differentiate how the content for the site is *maintained* from how the site is *rendered* for the end-user. What I believe Jekyll does (and other tools like it--I used to use Userland Frontier for this), is allow one to maintain the content of the site as individual files (or a large flat file database like Frontier), but then allow the computer to do what computers are good at--all the relative links for navigation, for example, or using includes to add boilerplate. If … [View More]
