Comment (by linda):

 Hi, sorry for the late response. Vacation + tor dev meeting distracted me
 from tickets for a while.

 Replying to [comment:23 mcs]:
 > We are going to make patches for this ticket and for #23262 available
 for review very soon. We do have a couple of questions for the UX team
 (these can be addressed with follow up patches):
 > * Should the "For assistance" text that appears on the current setup
 wizard and Network Settings window be kept or removed? It is not included
 in the design. This may also be a question for our community people
 (Colin, I am looking at you)

 Ah, it was not my intention to take that out. I just forgot to add it when
 I designed it. I'm an advocate for keeping that help desk shoutout there.

 > * How should we implement the bridges and proxy help? That is, what
 should happen when someone clicks the (?) icons? Currently, help is a
 separate panel so when you click the entire window contents are replaced
 with help text and there is an OK button that closes the help and returns
 the user to the configuration screen. We can keep that design or we could
 add some kind of popup that only covers part of the screen. We also need
 text for those two help panels or popups.

 I also think that the full-screen popup is a fine design choice. It's also
 easier to do since we have it implemented already, so I vote for this
 because I don't see a huge added benefit for non-full screen popups.

 We should have the final text for you soon, but here are some initial
 ones, if it is helpful:

 starter text for the (?) button for "select a build in bridge":

 Bridges are unlisted relays that make it more difficult to block
 connections to the Tor Network. Each type of bridge uses a different
 method to avoid censorship. The obfs ones make your traffic look like
 random noise, and the meek ones make your traffic look like it's
 connecting to that service instead of Tor.

 Because of how certain countries try to block Tor, certain bridges work in
 certain countries but not others. If you are unsure about which bridges
 work in your country, contact us at frontdesk at torproject.org.

 starter text for the (?) button for the "I use a proxy to connect to the
 internet":
 A local proxy is needed when connection though a company, school, or
 university network. If you are not sure how to answer this question, look
 at the Internet settings in another browser or check your system's network
 settings to see whether a proxy is needed.


 I hope this helps!
