Hi everyone, 

I am Shweta and have 2 years of work-experience as software engineer - 1 year with Yahoo! and 1 year with a startup Wingify. Now I am back to school for masters. This will be my first foss and I would like to help with design. 

As lunar mentioned that we have 5 types of audiences to cater to and we can either have single site for all or different site for different audience. In my opinion this is a critical decision as it will lay down foundation for other decisions. So, maybe we can run a poll among community members to find out which one is best option in their opinion.

Hi everyone, I'm olssy and have about 8 years experience in PHP CMS development, integration, testing and migration. I'm currently working on a migration from a custom CMS to Drupal for www.2600.com as well as a bit of redesigning of their site. I main expertise is in PHP, MySQL, CSS3 and Javascript and get great pleasure from doing massive migrations of content using command line tools. I would also like to mention that Drupal offers many ways to generate static pages.

Introductions sound like a good idea, I'll start!

I'm Namanyay Goel, a freelance designer/developer. I'm great at front end parts of things, but not so good at the backend. I'll be able to help in the design and the front-end coding.

As for the '5 community' problem, I don't think it's a huge issue. We have 5 different (main) pages in the site, they being: 

* / (The homepage, which offers download links and the novice user things. Wouldn't need much content, honestly)
* /docs
* /research
* /law
* /dev.

With a design like MDN, or PHP (new design), this could be easily achieved. 

Also, I think we should all move to Github, or at least Git. Open-sourcing what we do will definitely make us more known in the community.

Hi!

We are at 89 subscribers on the www-team mailing list. That's quite a
success! Welcome to all! Feel free to introduce yourself on your first
post.

I was hoping to wait some more time before kicking off discussions,
but it looks like we are already starting. :)

Our main issue right now is that the current website is trying to serve
too many audiences at once. Andrew identified 5 different audiences in
<https://bugs.torproject.org/5998>. We need to design either several
websites, or a single website that better address the needs of these
audiences. Introductory material regarding how Tor works and how to use
it must be translatable.

The following wiki page also contains some notes from discussion we had
during the 30C3. Feel free to amend it with any relevant information
regarding the website redesign:
<https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/Website>

Technically, the website is currently constructed using WML. While it
works, it will feel ancient to anyone who tried a recent static website
generator like Jekyll. Getting support for Markdown formated pages would
probably help more people to write content.

The current website code is available using Subversion:
<https://svn.torproject.org/svn/website/trunk/>

To be clear about this: the blog is currently made with Drupal, but the
idea is to either convert it to a static website generator now or to
integrate it while redoing the website.

For more information about the blog conversion, feel free to look at the
tickets already opened by Andrew:
