[tor-project] January 2020 report for the UX team

[Antonela Debiasi]

Hello Tor,

Onion Services
==============
We are on the last bit of making the Tor Browser user experience with
onionsites smoother and more intuitive. We've been iterating over the
client errors for onionsites and also reaching consistency with the
onion identity presence in the URL bar. We were discussing them here:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19251
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32645

Also, we've been working on deploying memorable names for onionsites.
This proof-of-concept will allow end-users to type a readable address at
the URL bar like [antonela.tor.onion], and Tor Browser will serve the
associated onion service. Users will be able to inspect and copy the
original 56-character domain name too.

User Research - S9
==================
During December, community members from Colombia and Kenya ran user
research over the Tor Browser download process. During January, we
worked on reporting their findings. Nah is uploading our reports here:

S30
===
OONI has been working on making Tor vanilla test available to run in all
the OONI Probe apps. We've worked on its user interface and reviewing
the implementation across platforms.
