What about an "Applications" or "Use X with Tor" section on
support.tpo? There are already questions on it, the legacy FAQ will
bring more. However PR 6 isn't in q&a format and would need some tricks
to shoehorn it into / split up by application like "Is it safe to use
Skype with Tor?" etc.

This page is now merged into PR 7 and should proposedly be redirected
to the tb-manual / wiki because it contains an outdated list of PTs.

Currently preparing pull requests for each section. Let's use
https://bugs.torproject.org/28549 for further communication.

Glad to help.

FWIW PR 58 adds no new content but replaces offline mirrors with newly
added ones. arma asked us to keep an eye on the mirror community and
there are regularly questions about this in #tor.
https://bugs.torproject.org/22150

Operators expect to be linked better. If tpo is not really interested
in mirrors, these pages should be removed to avoid further confusion.
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-mirrors/2018-October/001183.html

Also GetTor delivers offline mirrors because of this. If that
functionality is no longer meant to be supported it would better to drop
it instead of letting it rot (but hopefully will not).

Sent with best intentions to improve our webpages and services. Thanks
for looking into this.

Have a great day!
