newest first :P 14:05:30 #33482 is in progress 14:05:42 #33390 14:06:16 I'm not sure we want to do this 14:06:27 I should probably have brought it yesterday to the browser team 14:06:29 a ver 14:07:03 if it is what i think, i've been waiting for it liek for ever 14:07:06 *like 14:07:16 like, second link "Open in tor browser" 14:07:22 no link, click 14:07:56 ohh no 14:07:58 is a different thing 14:08:06 it's like viewing docs directly in browser 14:08:07 i'm confused if it is to record history or autocomplete 14:08:09 and it's for an addon 14:08:23 like for pdfs 14:08:34 interesting, i don't think we can do it before having some security measure on the tab, we don have isolation, but what happen with corrupt files 14:08:37 or I guess it could even be any other document like video files 14:08:54 *measures, *do 14:08:58 yep 14:09:05 you can already view pdfs though 14:09:06 so not sure what other documents they want to view 14:09:09 I may ask for more info actually 14:09:16 depending on the browser you are using.. ut if you are using Tor Browser maybe is safer than if you are using IExplorer 14:09:27 is interesting, we will not add the addon now, im sure but is something we can explore 14:09:37 i have some notes to work on downloaded files 14:09:42 maybe it is related 14:10:16 there was a similar discussion in Tails a while ago, about how to open PDFs, and I htuink it was decided to open them in Tor Browser because of the isolation and also because of AppArmour that restricts Tor Browser in Tails 14:10:17 ok 14:10:23 * thurayya was in the wrong ticket 14:10:41 okey, i dont think we can handle it now pili 14:11:03 (it was decided instead of calling the standalone pdf reader) 14:11:06 I will ask for more info, point them to pdfs already opening in browser and let's move on to #33357 14:11:14 but can be part of about:downloads work 14:11:16 which we already tried out 14:11:27 that was a nice one and i made a mock :) 14:11:31 as in antonela already looked at #33357 and made a mock :) 14:11:42 so I guess we review at some point 14:11:51 i've been talking about it with pospeselr and maybe we can work on that after s27 ends 14:12:08 cool 14:12:10 #33298 14:12:15 is S27 14:12:22 i still wonder how this threat model works with other chrome elements like i dont know, lets say favicons? i dont know 14:12:33 yep, is s27 14:13:04 I guess we need to wait for some dev work there first 14:13:07 yep 14:13:18 #33035 - also S27 and in progress 14:13:26 i think im done there 14:13:31 devs are working on it 14:13:39 we will need l10n for those 14:13:45 sounds good 14:14:01 i think we are in a very good shape for this first version of onion error pages 14:14:04 I guess they'll make it to transifex once things are merged 14:14:09 yep 14:14:21 #32973 - this one was from a frontdesk query 14:14:37 yep, asked multiple times 14:15:04 I think nothing to do here for now 14:15:14 i remember talking with matt about it 14:15:19 as in, the browser team won't have bandwidth to work on it anytime soon 14:15:28 but it could be a nice enhancement in future 14:15:34 oh, matt commented yep 14:16:09 #32938 - not sure what is needed here, need to read... 14:16:11 hey robinw o/ 14:16:24 Sorry I am late. 14:16:52 snowflake proxy volunteers == snowflake extension in browsers 14:17:08 no worries robinw, since is the first meeting of the month, we are doing tickets triage 14:17:12 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=merge_ready&status=needs_information&status=needs_review&status=needs_revision&status=new&status=reopened&component=%5EUX&or&status=accepted&status=assigned&status=merge_ready&status=needs_information&status=needs_review&status=needs_revision&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~ux-team&col=id&col=summary&col=keywords&col=component&desc=1&order=id 14:17:31 those are the tickets again, so we're all on the same page ^ 14:17:45 im not sure what is needed from me there but i should back to the ac meetings since is march and s30 started for me 14:17:49 i have added a new discussion, i should make a ticket about it really 14:17:51 so i can ask to cososh 14:17:51 yup 14:17:53 cohosh 14:18:08 cool, next?

14:28:53 we have a lot going on in 9.5 and it is related with the work richard is doing on per-site sec settings 14:28:57 _somehow_ 14:29:05 oh, it's already for June 14:29:06 I'll leave it 14:29:15 cool 14:29:44 next one is #32325 which I think we have already discussed previously 14:29:52 so I think we're done with triage 14:31:10 ehhh 14:31:24 i dont think it will make 9.5 14:31:33 so maybe pushing it for after june makes sense? 14:31:45 it's currently pushed to june 14:32:19 actually, there are a few more that I'm not sure we've discussed 14:32:19 also, diogo already provided an UI 14:32:27 so. stop me when they sound familiar... ;) 14:32:32 haha go for them! 14:33:04 #32324 - letterboxing also 14:33:13 #32228 14:33:25 that is a good one 14:33:28 this could be a good one for the nullcon hackathon ^ cc: kushal 14:33:36 yes! 14:33:41 maybe we want to push it now with our onions release 14:33:44 all them should be onions 14:34:14 that one is deferred until after ESR transition 14:34:19 oki 14:35:04 #32120 - not sure which links this refers to, maybe we can add this to the websites roadmap 14:35:12 ha 14:35:15 yes please, we need docs 14:35:57 next one is #32119 and I think this one we definitely have been through already 14:36:00 i can have it during s30 too, i want to review the flow of ui changes in preferences#tor because in some cases users need to reload the browser, in others just reload the tabs 14:36:21 and we need to advice users about it, because they change the ui and nothing happens 14:36:49 some proactive notification will make that flow less weird 14:37:03 sure 14:37:06 yep, i think we can close that one, we already shipped new versions 14:37:15 im not sure now if new users are still getting that one 14:37:23 ok, will close #32119 14:37:34 i dont think so, the tier of updated users got that onboarding 14:37:38 (if im not wrong) 14:37:57 tier, cohort 14:38:37 pili, noted 14:38:56 thanks kushal :) 14:39:01 what else pili? 14:39:04 ok, I think we're done with triage then? 14:39:07 perfect 14:39:09 there's some other discussion points :) 14:39:12 that was useful 14:39:18 thanks for running it pili! 14:39:23 next item is emmapeel's? 14:39:26 yw :) 14:40:12 kushal: if someboyd is interested in lektor development, or lektor-i18n-plugin development, give me a ping 14:40:31 yes! so, the other day there was a debate, and i wanted to check i was not a dogmatic bitch :D 14:40:57 maybe you are and is fine 14:40:57 lol 14:41:26 because the debate appeared framed as a traslation problem: how to translate 'pluggable transports' but it ended up as 'lets fix this during translation because the original term is not clear enough' 14:41:32 hehehe 14:41:38 yes 14:41:43 the original term is complicated itself 14:42:07 we had a lot of problems to decide on 'transportes conectables' and i think it is maybe because the terminology is not clear 14:42:22 https://www.pluggabletransports.info/ 14:42:29 i was spanish reviewer here 14:42:30 but then gaba said : we cannot change the original, lets fix it during translation. i am not comfortable with this solution 14:42:43 and the spanish version says "transportes conectables" 14:43:07 yeah but people was like 'i want to translate it as 'transporters ofuscados' 14:43:28 well, here is where our glossary takes stage 14:43:35 no? 14:44:16 yeah, i agree with that. but can we change pluggable transports to obfuscated transports? 14:44:52 i mean.. i edit the glossary and change it, but the translators can find errors in the terminology 14:45:33 i would like to know if there is a process for changing terminology, as we are having so many different projects in the tor ecosystem and the metaphors need to be more clear 14:45:52 i dont think we can change it now, like there is an state of research running using that terminology 14:46:16 antonela:+1 14:46:26 the other option is we just don't translate it ;P 14:46:27 maybe the anticensorship team can help you on developing answers about it 14:46:30 yeah. regarding changing terminology, there is still 'hidden services' all over, not much change to onion services 14:46:47 i see 14:47:00 emmapeel, Okay. 14:47:14 emmapeel: that's a good point about onion services 14:47:25 I think it will take a while for hidden services to disappear 14:47:37 emmapeel, can you please note down a few issues or improvement for lektor or lektor-i18n-plugin ? 14:47:40 we could do some sort of search and replace on all our webites for it :) 14:47:54 pili, yes at least 14:49:03 ok, so we translate as transportes conectables, because the translation should translate the real terms, otherwise you use ofuscados and then you see a text in italian and dont know what they are talking about 14:49:24 i think so, yes 14:49:31 it sounds reasonable for me emmapeel 14:49:38 and if you have a problem with that you can come to the anti-censorhip team meeting and express your views there :D 14:49:51 thanks! 14:50:02 thanks emmapeel :) 14:50:14 exactly 14:50:18 haha 14:50:19 kushal: all the tickets i have opened on their bugtracker! :D 14:50:23 cool 14:50:28 * antonela goes to see the pad 14:50:43 emmapeel: you again? - documentation needs? plz triage for DocsHackathon 14:50:58 pili is a good time to list all the needs from s27? 14:51:01 just a note, about the upcoming DocsHackathon 14:51:07 emmapeel, any link for the i18n related issues? I can directly point people to that then 14:51:13 it would be nice to have more easy tickets 14:51:16 antonela: documentation needs you mean? :) 14:51:23 yes? 14:51:32 emmapeel: true 14:51:32 yeah, I was debating whether to add those, since they are new features and only on alphas or nightlies 14:51:45 I guess no harm in adding them 14:51:49 some stuff are not only alpha or nightlies 14:52:01 (most of them, i think) 14:52:07 we can talk about it in the next meeting :) 14:52:14 sure :) 14:52:27 kushal: https://github.com/numericube/lektor-i18n-plugin/issues - last commit to the repo: april 2018. i think somebody has to take over development :S 14:55:41 okey 14:55:48 that is all in our discussion items 14:55:52 anything else folks? 14:56:02 Thank you. 14:56:06 I'm good 14:56:12 i forgot to add rmeote user research on the pad, but i'm gonna move it to tor-ux 14:56:13 (s27 meeting in 3 minutes!) 14:56:35 thurayya: oki, thanks! 14:56:37 thanks folks! 14:56:40 #endmeeting
