introduce rules for Tor wiki, trac, irc; netiquette; policy
Anyone can post to the Tor wiki or trac. What are the rules?
I know, you don't want any warez or hidden websites list on your server.
- That's fine. You provide anonymity. It doesn't mean you have to allow everything on your servers.
- It's legally safer to ban certain offtopic content.
- But not everyone knows that. You had some trouble with that in the past. The wiki editors didn't know that. (legacy/trac#2436 (moved)) How could they have known. Laws are different in all countries. Make your own rules, establish a netiquette.
Who is supposed to use the trac?
Imagine, someone requests something like "make the vidalia interface skinable", which is a legitimate question, but no real gain in security or useability and very unlikely to be ever added... Is anyone invited, after searching if the idea already exists, post a new feature request using "new enhancement"?
(Example legacy/trac#2436 (moved)) Am I going to violate a rule or going to annoy you, if I set the state to reopen? Or if I reply again? Or If I reply again and set state again to reopen?
How serious is it, if you haven't thoroughly searched before posting?
What is the policy for the trac priority?
- If something stops you from releasing a new release, it's a blocker?
- If an existing release contains something which could lead into exploits are deanonymization, it's critical?
- If something stops you from being productive, like imho a messes up wiki does, it's imho major. But I don't dare to set it in order not to annoy you.
Almost all wikis, irc, forums etc. have their own set of rules. Torproject.org has none at all yet.
