= website redesign update
== the idea of the website redesign is to have four portals:
=== main torproject.org portal
- what is tor?
- download the thing
- donations
- job openings
- who are the board
- who are the people
- legal stuff, financial stuff
- blog
- how to organize the blog tags better?
- newsletter
- press/news
- how do we regularly/automatically add recent positive press/statements from Tor?
...then three subportals
=== development portal
- needs more feedback from people doing technical work
- Tor ecosystem diagrammed -- how different bits of Tor interact
- areas of work (four dev teams) -- OONI, applications, network, metrics
- research
=== community portal
- building up the Tor community in a scalable way
- resources for people who host cryptoparties
- resources for people who run onion services
- six subpages
- support for relay operators
- easy way for people to get involved
- user testing
- intake mechanism/form for people who want more information. if they request training, there is a second step that asks them more questions. maybe the requests go to frontdesk@
- tor trainers
- what goes in the training curriculum? what does training mean/not mean? training on tor is a big responsibility, how to convey that?
- how to give trainers support. mailing list? ways for trainers to get support? ways for people to request training. could this be a webform?
- what does a bare minimum tor curriculum look like? besides how tor works, what to expect, what its limitations are, and how to install it
- how do we build trainings that respond to the needs of people requesting the trainings?
- how do we do more than just giving them the resource and then leaving?
- Tor people who already do trainings should be users of this page to make sure it works
- maybe what needs to happen to resolve this is a knowledge skillshare from trainers
=== support portal
-
a place for people to get help using Tor
-
searchable
-
FAQ
-
translated!
-
feedback mechanism
-
link to IRC
-
in order to get these pages rendered, they looked at all the existing resources eg why run a tor relay, how to run a relay, organizations to donate to if you can't run a relay
-
then prioritize the info and order it in a way that makes more sense than the current website structure
-
what is the timeline for the website redesign? we requested funding for a multi-year project to develop the site and get feedback. trying to do as much work as possible until that funding comes through
-
one goal of this new website is to get more direct user testing/feedback
-
who are the people who are needed for feedback? not just vegas leads, but developers. find them and ask them for direct feedback.
-
getting quantitative and qualitative feedback
-
we have to try multiple user paths in the website
