!GetTor is a program that presents alternative methods to download Tor Browser, especially when access to Tor Project's official website and mirrors is blocked. For now, the only available method is SMTP (email).

|
* Research more channels! (e.g. p2p) #9071 #8542
|
|
|
|
|
|

== Ideas
|
|
|
|
|
|
[=#ideas]
|
|
|
Here are some nice ideas that could be implemented in the near future (in no specific order):
|
|
|
|
|
|
''If you open a ticket for one of these ideas, please add its number next to the idea it belongs. Thank you.''
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ''[wiki:GetTor/future The future of GetTor]''
|
|
|
* Enable the 'mirrors' keyword and return the parsed content of tpo/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en. It would be very helpful to send the '''direct link''' for download. #16716
|
|
|
* Enable the 'sha256 checksums' and return dist.tpo/torbrowser/version/sha256sums.txt #3980
|
|
|
* Create a nice way to test !GetTor #1593
|
|
|
* Create some kind of bot that makes daily requests to !GetTor to check what channels are up.
|
|
|
* Make a nice and beautiful page that explains what is !GetTor, why it exists, and how to use it (including key verification).
|
|
|
* Improve stats. What other numbers could we get?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some thoughts that need research, and might be nice ideas to implement if we figure out how:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Change from generating responses on request by static responses.
|
|
|
* Can we provide Tor Browser via DuckDuckGo?
|
|
|
* Distribute MAR files. Does this actually makes sense? #13781
|
|
|
* Use encryption to circumvent deep packet inspection and cloud service awareness. #13878
|
|
|
* Sign outgoing emails. Would this be useful, or it would just add complexity to the message?
|
|
|
* Receive PGP public keys and reply with encrypted content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to add your own idea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Outreach
|
|
|
|
|
|
[=#outreach]
|
|
|
There are lots of projects and communities out there that share part or all of the goals of !GetTor. We might even find time to collaborate with some of them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* '''Tor2web''': ilv has collaborated with Tor2web in the implementation of a !GetTor feature. See [https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/wiki/GetTor their wiki] for more details.
|
|
|
* '''DuckDuckGo''': ilv is currently learning how to make instant answers and see if we could do something nice related to !GetTor goals.
