Comment:
I assigned myself to this because *cypherpunk might never step up.
My proposal:
- drop download easy
- have one page per OS
- list all projects on each page
- images as navigation at the top
- short description with link to project site
- all collapsed per default, activated per click on an image
- drop js, use css .active instead (see #27131:comment:2)
- each projects maintains 1 file with the correct links to the latest
version
- have three static links per os and project for stable, alpha, unstable,
whatever (looking at #26298 i don't want to fix the labels here),
organized centrally with
[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
RewriteRules]
- architecture specific links, language version
- link to install instructions
- warnings/education section at the bottom as is
It was pointed out at several locations that in censored areas it would be
good to have a all in one download page. If all links are stable, everyone
can keep and distribute it to download the packages several months later
without 404.
Downside: page is longer, but also more valuable and users could be lured
to check out the ecosystem a bit more.
For releases www-admins need to update rules to the new file (+.sig) on
https://dist.torproject.org/
(organized by a not so complicated bash script)
- tpo/download/index.html # all in one download page (projects x OS)
- tpo/download/[linux|osx|windows|android]/index.html # all download links
for linux (/ [hurd]? #26873) with links to /doc/os
- tpo/download/[os]/tor-browser/latest (=stable)
- tpo/download/[os]/tor-browser/stable
- tpo/download/[os]/tor-browser/alpha
- tpo/download/[os]/[project]/[version]
- tpo/download/tor/source/LTS
- tpo/download/tor/source/stable
- tpo/download/tor/source/unstable
- tpo/download/tor/source/unstable/[version]
- tpo/download/tor/source/slack*/*
This more an idea and a question if this could work with your current
workflow. I don't want to break anything or change functional processes.
I asked myself if it would make more sense to work on the new site only.
However I rather not want to let the current one rot until the launch in
some months. The carryover (#23266) will be easier with a 'consolidated'
system as it is much faster to translate up to date and correct content
from wml to markdown (can even be done in one step). After fixing the
links I want to get into the trust issue (#3893).
Please help me with your ideas.
