Hijacking this thread just to rename the subject so people can set up e-mail filters if they want. Subject nomenclature is *[Tor www-team][sub-team][issue] *where sub-team is one of: UI, Graphic Design, Tech-writer, Translator, Graphic-design, Front-end, Back-end, Tester (accessibility would touch UI, graphic design and front-end) On Thu, Jan 9, 2014 at 3:57 PM, Marina Brown <catskillmarina(a)gmail.com>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 01/09/2014 12:32 PM, Silviu Riley wrote: > > Maybe simplify it even further to job or simple description: > > > > The Student The Journalist The Researcher The Donor The Engineer > > The Activist The Dissident (might need even more protection than > > The Activist) > > I'd add the following categories. > > Whistleblower - they may only use tor once. > User - they use tor for safety or simply to get around censorship. > When i use tor on Amtrak i fall into this category. > > Under User there might be Stalking victim. > > I think it is a mistake to try to factor out cultures or groups in > descriptions because that makes us less likely to think about languages > and cultural constraints a person might need to work around. > > I do feel that accessibility to sight impared people is also another > very important category. > > - --- Marina > > > > > > > > This gets away from names, which reference specific cultures (Habib > > the dissident implies a foreign leaning to the persona.

First set of technical requirements
by Lunar 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi! We already have a first set of technical requirements regarding software producing Tor website: * It should generate static web pages, ready to be mirrored by our network of more than 70 mirrors. * The content must be kept in a version control system. The website was kept in Subversion, but it should probably be migrated to Git. * It needs to support the “Don't Repeat Yourself” principle for the content, e.g. the latest version of the Tor Browser Bundle needs to be kept at a single place but used at different places in the website. * It needs to support translations. A changes in a single paragraph should be easily to propagate to translators and to then to translations. Hope that clears any further misunderstandings. -- Lunar <lunar(a)torproject.org>

Website requirements and goals
by Rohan Smith 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hey all I just bumped up the post on Hacker News about the website needing help. I am willing to assist and would like to get some high level information about the goals of this project. Tt also piqued my interest because the current site is done with Drupal and that is my area of expertise. I would like to know from those who are at the top planning this what are the main general requirements of the site and how you will facilitate a remote team working on it. Regards, -- R.A.Smith

IRC channel for www-team
by Rey Dhuny 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, What do folk think about an IRC channel for www-team? I'm Rey and I would like to throw my hat in and help out where I can. Primarily a front end developer I have a fair bit of experience with static generators (Jekyll, Middleman, nanoc). Words I like include HTML/CSS, HAML/SASS, responsive frameworks, Grunt, Compass and all that good stuff. Rey -- reyhan.org

Re: [Tor www-team] First set of technical requirements

Hi, my name is siddhartha, I am a undergrad student in IT, in my senior (read 12 hours per week of coursework) year. Will have lots of time to lurk and contribute. I like the words usability, design, static sites etc, i like to do Python/js/HTML/CSS with interest for perl/ruby too. I know my way around Linux too, a little bit. +1 for jekyll. I think the "homepage for novices, links from there for other audiences" is a suitable idea because that unifies everything (easier to maintain, translate etc).

Hi Lunar, By static web pages, you just mean at the client side, correct? As in, we would use Django or Rails (say) to generate pages and then they'd be skimmed by the mirrors? Just double checking there's not hidden complexity in that system that 've not understood :) Also +1 for Git version control. As you can tell, I'd also throw my hat in for using Rails or Django as the framework...

Documentation and Writing Needs
by William Papper 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm new to the Tor project, but I've contributed to similar projects in the past. I found this mailing list through Liberationtech's Twitter feed, and I'm more than happy to help with any writing and documentation needs. If there are parts of the website that need rewrites or proofreading, then I'm happy to handle it. Could someone point me to a list of topics that need documentation or updates? Will
