Hey all I just bumped up the post on Hacker News about the website needing help. I am willing to assist and would like to get some high level information about the goals of this project. Tt also piqued my interest because the current site is done with Drupal and that is my area of expertise. I would like to know from those who are at the top planning this what are the main general requirements of the site and how you will facilitate a remote team working on it. Regards, -- R.A.Smith
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. :) Rohan Smith:
I am willing to assist and would like to get some high level information about the goals of this project.
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/>
It also piqued my interest because the current site is done with Drupal and that is my area of expertise.
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.

Hello everyone, I'm looking forward to helping out however I can. This would be the first foss project I'll be involved in, so I'll limit myself to documentation and technical writing. If needed I can do some programming, Python mostly, but I'm a beginner. Cheers, Silviu. On Jan 7, 2014 10:15 AM, "Lunar" <lunar@torproject.org> wrote:

Since everyone starts introducing themselves, I'll jump in as well. I'm an experienced PHP/MySQL dev and have worked on some open-source, but mostly private, projects. One of the projects I worked in is Localisation Update, which is currently used on every Wikipedia to update the translations/localisations on a daily basis (instead of a monthly basis). Everything is localised at translatewiki.net (a translating/i18n community). We could do something similar for the Tor website, and maybe even get the Translatwiki.net guys to join for translation and localisation! Met vriendelijke groet / Yours sincerely, Tom Maaswinkel 2014/1/7 Silviu Riley <silviu.riley@gmail.com>

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 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. olssy On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 10:32 AM, Namanyay Goel <mail@namanyayg.com> wrote:

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. On 7 January 2014 21:29, Olssy <olssy1@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello there, I'm Mylene, longtime Tor user but new to community. I can help with html/css things and web design.
Hi All, I've created a Google Spreadsheet that we can all access and use to record our skills that we can contribute to this project. This will help us to run through this information better when we make decisions such as who works on what, what platform to use, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnVXjThQO5LhdFJhNDNCQXBoZncwZF9... Feel free to add yourselves to this spreadsheet & even add additional headers as required. thanks, Avadhut On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 4:38 PM, Mylène <mylene@instants-suspendus.net>wrote:

Hi, I think the 5 different audiences reasoning makes sense, but making a micro website for each target will not necessarily match the needs of a given random user to the audience. We can't make an "exclusive OR" out of someone visiting the Tor website. I think a better approach would be to have the main website (or at least the landing page) targeted at novice users, as this category IMO will be (or should be) the main Tor target. The content can be a basic introduction to Tor and a link to "Getting started" or the Downloads page. The content for more advance users can still be accessible from the landing page. The Bitcoin project home page is an example of such an approach. On Tue, Jan 7, 2014 at 5:44 PM, Avadhut Phatarpekar <avadhut.p@gmail.com>wrote:

Hi all! My name is Sebastiaan Provost. The reason why I subscribed to this mailing list is because I'd like to contribute to tor project in any way I can, wherever possible. I've done some work in PHP, Java and recently in Python (not much). I don't know if I can be of much help, but every little bit can help the project. A little bit about myself: I'm someone who is pretty idealistic minded, and am willing to do whatever it takes to defend our rights and to help the people stand up against corruption/dictatorship/spying eyes. I've worked as an IT Engineer for a small company and built their webshop and rebuilt their entire IT Infrastructure (it was ancient). I've also worked as an ICT Consultant (more specifically as an ICT Consultant developing in Java, extending and editing the Amdocs framework) and am currently learning a few new tricks myself.

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/>
It also piqued my interest because the current site is done with Drupal and that is my area of expertise.
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: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/milestone/2014%20Tor%20Blog%20Repl acement> -- Lunar <lunar@torproject.org>
