I think this is a great overview. I would love to see this linked somehow to a broader forum.
Tor is a wide open software project with so many diverse and intricate parts.
I could write up my contributions over the years, from battling with relays, UX research, training non-technical users, software porting and patching... and it would be unique, just like yours.
The bigger point is this: Tor isn't some simple one-sided project. There are a lot of moving parts.
About the web site discussion, specifically:
To be bluntly honest, I didn't participate in the new www site roll-out to any extent, and only just looked at it this morning. If I had any criticisms or comments, I would be doing it humbly, since I wasn't part of the process.
Are there open source projects where that is not a valid dictum?
Everyone should remember that when the snowballs of condemnation are accumulating.
And remember, a lot of us volunteer a lot of free time to this project, and we appreciate how much others do also. The respect that TPO contributors get is well-earned.
Speaking as someone on the TPO Community Council, contributing to a software project means contributions, not jumping onto an avalanche of criticisms. The previous discussions on the new www site were utterly inappropriate.
