 also not a big fan of either of them:

 pages.

 Agreed.

 >
 >  - I don't think that we should split the current single page into
 three, because that wouldn't distribute the content equally; it's like
 writing a book with three chapters: prologue, the big story chapter,
 epilogue.

 True.  And, one major advantage of one-pagers is browser search (which I
 use often).

 currently contained in the big story chapter: Relay Descriptors, Bridge
 Descriptors, Hidden/Onion Service Descriptors, BridgeDB, TorDNSEL,
 Torperf; plus another two that we might add sooner or later: Webstats and
 Bwauth.  But I also believe that's a bit of overkill.

 True, that is too much.

 fit into the general page design.

 contents, except for the "Automated Downloads" part at the end.

 All valid concerns.

 >
 > Suggestion: How about we simply drop all navigational elements like the
 navigation bar and the navigation side box and leave the big table with
 buttons at the page start for people to navigate?

 Yep, that makes sense.

 >
 > One tiny downside is that we'd have to come up with a similar solution
 for the [https://onionoo.torproject.org/protocol.html Onionoo page] which
 is quite long.  Though, hmm, maybe we can just keep the table of contents
 there.

 Yes, keep the contents table and rely on browser search ;-)

 >
 > Too unfancy?

 Not at all, the new lean style ;-)
