[Tor www-team] [IA] Sitemap for the current torproject.org?

[Earl G]

Ok well i understand that a lot more.

Very good explanation.

For the prioritizing it could be important to look at the history of
downloads and media coverage.
What sparked the biggest interest recently and what was the demographic of
the user?

Was it the Snowden guy and were most of the users Reddit, Ycombinator and
other comunitys that made a huge deal of it.

These are the mass market imo that need to be prioritized on even though
the one person that flees north korea is still just as valuable.
Without the mass market running bridges the one North Korean or the
renegade like Snowden will have no connection to use.
