[Tor www-team] Website requirements and goals

[Silviu Riley]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking forward to helping out however I can. This would be the first
foss project I'll be involved in, so I'll limit myself to documentation and
technical writing. If needed I can do some programming, Python mostly, but
I'm a beginner.

Cheers,

Silviu.
