The `www.torproject.org` website is hosted at several computers for
redundancy, and these computers are together called "the www
rotation". The www rotation serves a variety of other websites too,
like extra.tp.o, dist.tp.o, and more.
How do you edit one of these websites? Let's say you want to edit "extra".

= Which sites are static? =
The complete list of websites served by the www rotation is not easy
to figure out, because we move some of the static sites around from
time to time. But you can learn which websites are considered "static",
i.e. you can use the above steps to edit them, via:
* "ssh staticiforme cat /etc/static-components.conf"
{{{
ssh staticiforme cat /etc/static-components.conf
}}}
= How does this work? =
If you're a sysadmin and wondering how that stuff work or do anything back there, look at [[howto/static-component]].
