Hello from the Tor dev meeting. I'm working on trying to help come up with some better narrative around the types of features, functions and actions a user of Tor-based software might want. The goal is to get beyond "anonymity" or "better privacy" as an answer to what Tor does.
This will also help shape feature decisions in apps like Tor Browser and Orbot, as well as influence long range roadmap type thinking and discussion. If you have a Tor trac account, please contribute the log of user stories here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2014WinterDevMeeting/notes/UserStories or just reply to this email with some of your own, that I can add. A few examples.... *** A blogger in Uganda wants to document and publish local personal stories related to the fight against anti-homosexuality legislation, but is worried about being persecuted, or having the subjects of their posts persecuted. A journalists wants to communicate with a source using a chat/instant messaging on a web or mobile device without exposing that they are talking to the source, or having anyone log that they were talking. A student at a high school is searching for information on this history of abortion law for a paper, but the schools internet filters block all access based on the keyword "abortion". A researcher faces opportunistic and targeted attacks from compromised upstream service provider when using plain-text or privacy compromising protocols. A parent faces intermittent local WiFi active threats (DNSspoof,SSLstrip,*MitM,...) in the community. Children's older devices especially vulnerable. ** THANKS! -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
