I also made contact with OVH regarding the 17 suspicious relays, however i Have not yet received a response. I got direct contacts from Teor, so we should hear something this week hopefully. I also spent time collecting relay operation costs from 16:25:56 <Phoul> torservers partners for a potential funder, and working with the EOL operators to continue having them upgrade. I also noticed at the end of last week the DNS timeout % for the network was approaching 8%, so I started working with operators to bring this down again. 16:26:01 <Phoul> as can be seen at https://arthuredelstein.net/exits/, we are at 3% today 16:26:06 <Phoul> So progress is being made on that :) 16:26:14 <flexlibris> nice! 16:26:19 <flexlibris> super weird about those sketchy relays lol 16:26:32 <flexlibris> i mean idk i don't wanna hate on this possibly lovely set of people who are just trying to help but like....what 16:26:46 <Phoul> Yeah, its an odd situation. I'm hoping its just someone who was trying to do good but did so wrong. 16:26:59 <Phoul> I will update on that next week :) 16:27:06 <flexlibris> great thanks 16:27:11 <flexlibris> okay emmapeel go ahead! 16:27:31 <emmapeel> ok so, for localizatoin we need to have a glossary. there is one in transifex but is not available outside 16:27:44 <emmapeel> there is the one the comunity team did, which is more updated with other teams too 16:28:17 <emmapeel> i would like to erge those two, and also to move them from the wiki to the tb-manual so we can access the translations for the terms too 16:28:39 <emmapeel> there are also other glossaries, from the metrics team etc 16:28:47 <emmapeel> so we could have them all together 16:29:02 <flexlibris> good plan 16:29:28 <emmapeel> but for this i need to people that is doing them to agre to update the main glossary, and also to decide where it goes 16:29:41 <emmapeel> i though tb-manual because is a bit more enciclopaedic 16:29:49 <kushal> Going afk for dinner. 16:29:49 <emmapeel> *thought 16:30:27 <flexlibris> emmapeel so i was one of the people who worked on the community team glossary and i have no issue with merging it 16:30:39 <Phoul> +1, I think it sounds like a good idea. 16:30:41 <flexlibris> and i think putting a glossary into the manual sounds like a good idea 16:30:53 <flexlibris> both in terms of its existing content and as a central locatoin that is already on lektor 16:31:56 <emmapeel> ok, so i will for example add a note, ror maybe move it from https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/community/glossary to tb-manual.tpo/glossary 16:32:15 <emmapeel> also the others. 16:32:39 <flexlibris> cool. do you know who made the other glossaries? 16:32:49 <emmapeel> ok that was it about the glossary. if yu have any ideas, ping me! i will also merge it with https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-glossary 16:33:06 <emmapeel> i need to ask the network and the metrics team about the other glossaries 16:33:16 <flexlibris> i *think* asn made the network team one 16:33:27 <ggus> i think it's important to communicate this to other tor teams (maybe in vegas meeting?) 16:33:47 <Phoul> Just a thought, would it be better to put the combined glossary on support.tpo instead of tb-manual? 16:33:51 <flexlibris> i think reaching out to the teams that have their own glossaries individually is fine 16:34:04 <flexlibris> support.tpo also a good location 16:34:14 <flexlibris> i personally think the manual should be on support.tpo anyway 16:34:22 <emmapeel> i think we were planning to merge them anyway 16:34:39 <flexlibris> yeah there was a ticket suggesting to merge them 16:34:40 <flexlibris> from some time ago 16:34:45 <Phoul> Gotcha :) 16:35:28 <emmapeel> ok, the other thing is regarding the tb-manual: we have been updating it with wayward but there are still some things. also traumschule has submitted some pull requests but i think we need to review the contents too 16:35:58 <emmapeel> i dont mind to copy the textxs etc but we should copywrite or whatever is called 16:36:13 <flexlibris> yes sure. can anyone help review those pull requests? 16:36:44 <wayward> I can help, but I'm not sure if it would be better to have someone w/ more knowledge/experience 16:36:51 <traumschule> hi 16:36:52 <emmapeel> there are some here: https://github.com/torproject/manual/pulls 16:36:55 <Phoul> I can do some review :) 16:37:02 <emmapeel> i think also stephw wanted to review this kind of changes 16:37:13 <flexlibris> thanks wayward and phoul and yeah i bet stephw will want to see them 16:37:20 <emmapeel> for example, adding a section on instant messaging: https://github.com/torproject/manual/pull/6 16:38:06 <wayward> traumschule: o/ 16:38:32 <ggus> why we are merging instant messaging with tor browser manual? 16:38:58 <emmapeel> we are adding one documentation about IM to the manual. is good to know about IM! 16:39:13 <flexlibris> but ggus makes a good point, it's the tor browser manual 16:39:17 <ggus> but it's tb-manual 16:39:24 <pili> yeah, seems unrelated :) 16:39:31 <pili> we should have it somewhere though 16:39:33 <emmapeel> oh i see 16:39:39 <emmapeel> is not the tor manual? 16:39:41 <ggus> we could expand support.tpo doc about IM 16:39:46 <emmapeel> little-t tor manual? 16:39:51 <flexlibris> yes i was about to suggest what ggus just did 16:40:21 <emmapeel> yes ok support then better than the manual. also for the glossary now that i think about it 16:40:40 <flexlibris> yeah 16:40:51 <pari> emmapeel: I can help with reviewing this too, will go through, and ping you if I have some suggestions! 16:41:33 <emmapeel> ok cool. also the whole bridges-transports-circumvention section could be more 'holistic' or something 16:41:52 <emmapeel> https://tb-manual.torproject.org/ 16:41:58 <flexlibris> how do you mean? 16:41:59 <Phoul> For content review of the IM page, this is actually something Jaruga wrote. I'm happy to review it in Lektor format, but the content was reviewed during her internship :) 16:42:33 <emmapeel> Phoul: the content was already reviewed? i didnt knew about that. cool 16:42:44 <Phoul> Yup! I reviewed pages Jargua did as she completed them. 16:42:48 <emmapeel> s i culd add it as a section to the support portal then? did stephw acked it? 16:42:50 <Phoul> Looks like the only change since then is a note from Teor 16:43:04 <Phoul> No, steph hasnt seen it. I did content review for accuracy and such, but steph hasnt approved it 16:43:27 <flexlibris> yeah so steph should review it and then my only other suggestion would be to put it into q&a form to fit the overall style of the support portal 16:43:43 <stephw> yes, that makes sense 16:43:47 <stephw> can you ping me when it’s in that format? 16:44:14 <emmapeel> stephw: i think isent you an email with notes about reviewing in github 16:44:37 <emmapeel> did you find it too cumbersome/unintelligible? 16:44:37 <stephw> but it’s going to change now that it’s going in the support portal, right? 16:44:51 <stephw> no i didnt have time to check it yet 16:45:31 <emmapeel> for example, could you review the texts here: https://github.com/torproject/manual/pull/7/commits/7202e58d5c77f0358510478ea0ed48dbbbbebffc 16:46:41 <traumschule> i have a question regarding the faq. i'm happy to markdown it in any format if i know where it will go. should it be split? 16:47:55 <flexlibris> i dont know what you mean by the faq? 16:48:33 <traumschule> also i thought about a pad to coordinate priorities for porting texts to lektor. is anyone interested? 16:48:57 <traumschule> faq is https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en 16:49:35 <flexlibris> oh, are you thinking about adding to this faq? you should add to the support portal instead 16:49:40 <emmapeel> traumschule: it looks like to relocate this questions is also a problem i think we have too many FAQ and known issues heh :D 16:49:48 <flexlibris> this faq will go away when we finish the new website 16:49:57 <flexlibris> many of these questions are already on the support portal 16:50:37 <traumschule> no, not adding. i would transform it from html to markdow to be added to support or where it fits. 16:50:40 <emmapeel> ah ok cool. we could fagocitate them now, and replace the page with a link to the support portal then 16:52:00 <flexlibris> okay sure, it can get added to the support portal. we should spend some time reviewing and updating these items though. i dont know when they were last updated. 16:52:00 <traumschule> tbh i'm tired of the open webwml PRs and want to do it properly in markdown .. 16:52:37 <traumschule> https://github.com/torproject/webwml/pulls 16:53:48 <flexlibris> traumschule do you want to get started on that and then share it with the community team list? 16:54:53 <flexlibris> we have to wrap this meeting up soon fyi 16:54:56 <traumschule> ok, can do this but is this the best process to send PR links to the community list? usually i just add them to the according tickets 16:55:12 <emmapeel> traumschule: i can merge your changes on support and the manual, as long as somebody like stephw reviews the contents 16:55:35 <flexlibris> no i meant for getting the content reviewed 16:55:37 <emmapeel> but webwml... ufff 16:55:59 <traumschule> i'm fine. thanks for your time! :) 16:57:24 <flexlibris> okay so just ping the list when you have stuff ready for review, because then people will see it 16:57:32 <flexlibris> i can also try to make time to take a look at what you have 16:57:40 <flexlibris> anyway we should wrap up this meeting cause another team is coming in 16:57:43 <flexlibris> #endmeeting
