    create a new "support" page · ce53bb7b
    anarcat authored
    The support page is the go-to page for the "how to get help" question,
    which previously was hidden inside the TPA-RFC-2 standard.
    
    This basically copies that part of the TPA-RFC-2 policy, but could
    eventually diverge without needing to update the policy, for informal
    stuff.
    
    I started working on this page while trying to address
    team#40382 ("document the triage process"), but I'm not
    actually sure triage documentation should go there, as this page feels
    more targeted at users, and only users.
    
    howto/incident-response.md would seem like a better space for this.
    
    Also, this is a toplevel page because it's more important than
    everything else, so it warrants its own special space.

Need help?

If you need help from the sysadmin team (or even if you're not sure which team!), please do contact us using one of the following mechanisms:

Quick question: chat

If you have "just a quick question" or some quick thing we can help you with, ask us on IRC: you can find us in #tpo-admin on irc.oftc.net and in other tor channels.

It's possible we ask you to create a ticket if we're in a pinch. It's also a good way to bring your attention to some emergency or ticket that was filed elsewhere.

Bug reports, feature requests and others: issue tracker

Most requests and questions should go into the issue tracker, which is currently GitLab (direct link to a new ticket form). Try to find a good label describing the service you're having a problem with, but in doubt, just file the issue with as much details as you can.

You can also mark an issue as confidential, in which case only members of the team (and the larger "tpo" organisation on GitLab) will be able to read it.

Private question and fallback: email

If you want to discuss a sensitive matter that requires privacy or are unsure how to reach us, you can always write to us by email, at torproject-admin@torproject.org.

For details on those options and our support policy, including support levels, supported services and timelines, see the TPA-RFC-2: support policy.
