 then deal with "we should add xyz, or you should write abc in a different

 unless it's necessary to do so.

 I've applied parts of the patch. See my comment below for your changes to
 the first section.

 {{{
 +The image above illustrates a user browsing to the Torproject.org website
 +using Tor. The green monitors represent relays in the Tor network,
 +while the three locks represent the layers of encryption between the
 +user and each relay.
 }}}

 How do you suggest that we illustrate the Tor Project website? I guess one
 option would be to drop the Twitter icon and put a URL there instead. I
 wanted to use an image that "everyone" knows, and not use any text in the
 image at all. So I figured Twitter would be a good fit.

 Also, I know that we normally use the world "relay" instead of "server".
 However, a word like "relay" does not make much sense to non-tech users,
 and it can be difficult to translate. I figured "server" would be better
 in a short manual for new Tor users.
