= 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
