It would be great to add them to a FAQ with the answers.

Questions from participants:
1. [David F.] There are many search results for "Tor" in app stores. What Tor mobile apps are safe to use?
http://4bflp2c4tnynnbes.onion/tormobile/
http://4bflp2c4tnynnbes.onion/tormobile/tormobile-1/
2. [David F.] Where can someone ask questions about Tor and get support?
http://4bflp2c4tnynnbes.onion/get-in-touch/
3. [anadahz] What happens if an ISP blocks all/some Tor directory authorities? a. As a relay operator: Can I setup a relay on this ISP? b. As a user: Can I connect to Tor (and hope fallback dirs will work)?
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/support/-/issues/116
4. [federico] How does Salmon identifies users? If a censor uses dynamic IP addresses to fetch bridges, will future users connecting from those addresses be affected?
Salmon is production ready? If so, we can add to support.tpo,
5. [Reethika] Have you found any interesting issues in your usability studies that you can share with us? Do you have special IRC channels to brainstorm solutions for these usability issues?
https://community.torproject.org/user-research/
=> We are resuming our open meetings next Tuesday in IRC! the details are here https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/ux/team/-/wikis/home [antonela]
6. [anadahz] How can one help Tor network grow and became more diverse?
7. [Oliver L] Are Tor Onionservices already safe against DDoS attacks. I know there have been some fixes in the last year. I hope the question has not yet been answered in the presentation, unfortunately I came a little late ;-)
8. [Arturo] How can the internet measurement community (OONI, RIPE, M-Lab, ICLab, etc.) support your work? Are there any gaps we can help meet?
9. [David F.] What is involved in creating a new pluggable transport?
#dev portal?
10. [Arturo] What are the challenges that come with making tools like Tor work in places that have advanced internet censorship? Meek works in China, but it's expensive. What is the real big challenge?
11. [Jack Wampler] Would a larger number of bridges help to fight bridge enumeration and scraping from bridge db or is the challenge in distribution itself (i.e. deploying salmon)?GusGushttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/support/-/issues/243Add moat to the glossary2021-09-01T14:45:05ZemmapeelAdd moat to the glossaryWe should add a definition of moat for the glossaryWe should add a definition of moat for the glossaryhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/team/-/issues/7Sync the different lektor wikis, document how to do it2021-09-01T13:42:23ZemmapeelSync the different lektor wikis, document how to do itSince a while the different wikis for lektor sites, that used to sync and be the same, are separating.

This is a problem, because the contributors update one version but the others are outdated.
We should make the process more automatic, and also document how to edit the wikis.

But there is a big 'edit' button on each of the wikis, and changes have been made to the different versions
We should:
- [x] Unify the updates on the main wiki
- [ ] Remove the edit buttons or make sure they go to the proper wiki to edit
- [x] Document the best way to edit and check that it works.emmapeelemmapeelhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/104[TBA] Explain how to get your Tor logs2021-08-31T13:49:05ZGus[TBA] Explain how to get your Tor logsI was helping a TBA user to test some bridges, and learned that we don't have instructions to view the Tor logs on TBA-Manual.

As part of our work in migrating to GitLab, the TPA wiki previously hosted at:
<https://help.torproject.org/tsa/>
... [has been migrated](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/services/-/issues/34437) to:
<https://gitlab.torproje...Hi!
As part of our work in migrating to GitLab, the TPA wiki previously hosted at:
<https://help.torproject.org/tsa/>
... [has been migrated](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/services/-/issues/34437) to:
<https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/services/-/wikis/>
This means that everything above `/tsa/` (including the [metrics ops docs](https://help.torproject.org/metrics/)) was removed in the migration. It is still in the [history of the new git repository](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/services.wiki.git) (under the `pre-gitlab` tag) -- and available from [the old git repository](https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/help/wiki.git/) but that will eventually be gone as well.
So I would like to help you migrate this new content somewhere. It can either be here, as a new wiki with history, or by importing the history from the tag and just remove the tsa stuff. It can also be restored in the TPA wiki.
It's as you wish, let me know if you need help! I will do a redirection on the website once the content is migrated as well...
Note that one challenge of the migration is that your (markdown) code might be using some ikiwiki-specific macros. I have written a tool called (somewhat confusingly) [ikiwiki2hugo](https://gitlab.com/anarcat/scripts/raw/master/ikiwiki2hugo.py) to handle this transition.

However, it can happen that multiple research groups want to run their experiments simultaneously. Which should come up with some criteria/rules for this case so folks can inform themselves about running experiments on the network properly with all constraints to avoid frustration and get expectations right.
That includes some idea about which network experiments we want to run at all and whether running them in parallel is okay, too. How should we share time across experiments?
