[Tor www-team] Seeking Bash Scripting Experience for a Setup Script

Wed May 21 03:53:18 UTC 2014

Hi Remco,

Thank you! This is fantastic. Do you want to create a pull request? Feel
free to add yourself to the "Who built this project?" section of the README
also.

I got a few errors when I ran the script (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), but they seem
rather small. The script still completed successfully, in any event. I've
opened an issue on GitHub for that here:
https://github.com/wpapper/tor-download-web/issues/60

Using a template makes a lot of sense and seems like a very good solution.
We could do the same for the fallback (for non-JS) links in index.html, too.

Thanks again! This is great progress.

Sincerely,
Will Papper
