 = Objective =

 To define the structure of the new website: specifically, to decide how
 many pages/subpages there will be, how the main site will interact with
 its portals/subsites, and deciding where to host content (prioritizing
 important things first, leaving lesser important things in harder-to-reach
 pages).

 = Definitions =

 * the subsite design pattern looks like this:


 This structure is good for organizations with lots of separate
 topics/responsibilities. This is one of many design patterns, which you
 can see [http://adellefrank.com/blog/review-information-architecture-
 patterns here].

 = Methodology =

 The website will be architected to have a main page (torproject.org) and
 three portals/subsites: 1) dev.torproject.org, 2) support.torproject.org,
 and 3) outreach.torproject.org. The purpose of the main site would be to
 redirect people to the appropriate portals, and the portals will host
 portal-specific content and will not cross-link.

 Once we have decided what content will need to be hosted on each page, we
 will architect the website to host the appropriate contents in this design
 pattern.

 = Results =
 ''Linda will update this after she's done architecting.''
