> 1. Is it confusing? I want to make it clear why using a bridge-by-
default bundle might be preferable, but the wording could be clearer/more
succinct/more informative somehow. I don't know that anyone will read the
bridge page, so a better description would help.
I think it's ok.
> 2. There's no stable bridge-by-default bundle and that is making the
formatting wonky. I'll fix that by making a stable bundle, unless there's
some reason stable is not a useful bridge-by-default version to have.
I'd say you'll have more fun fixing the formatting than you will making a
whole separate set of bridge-by-default bundles and then maintaining them
forevermore. I expect most bridge-by-default users will be people who
download and run the thing because somebody tells them to, and don't even
use the client part of Tor -- not otherwise ordinary Tor users who didn't
want to figure out what to click in Vidalia. One version at a time should
be plenty.
> Separately, the more I look at this page, the less clear it is how I
should go about offering the Firefox 4 TBBs. "There are FIVE ways to use
Tor!" seems like it could be the maximum level of confusing, so since it's
not the easy download page, do I just assume people can say "hey yeah I
want the Firefox 4 TBBs" or do I leave those on the TBB page itself, to be
discovered by people who manage to find their way there?
Depends how much testing you want them to get. Sticking them on the
download page if you think they might not work is probably premature. But
that said, you have to get from here to there somehow. I'd suggest just
replacing the main TBB with the new TBB once you think everybody 'should
work'.
> More on topic for this bug title: should I link to non-TBB bundles with
the download page, and link to TBB with the TBB page?
If you do that, few people will use TBB, which is the opposite of what
phobos seems to want.
I'd say one way to get out of this situation (you're right, the download
page Windows section sure has a lot of choices) is to get us closer to the
day when download-easy is the default page people get when they click on
'download'.
