#1995: "help censored users" vidalia button needs explanation

 Priority:  major    |   Milestone:     
Component:  Vidalia  |     Version:     
 Keywords:           |      Parent:

 Some users click "help censored users" in Vidalia's sharing window, rather
 than "be a relay". Then they spend a lot of time looking at public relay
 listings, wondering why their Tor relay is broken.

 We could save them a lot of trouble by improving the interface around
 opting to be a bridge. For example,

 {{{
 "Help censored users reach the Tor network (<a href="">what's this?</a>)
 }}}

 We also need some text in the Vidalia help pages that describes what being
 a bridge is from the bridge operator side. Currently we only have text
 about how to configure to use somebody else's bridge.
