#20739: https://tb-manual.torproject.org should redirect to the manual for the platform the user is actually on ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: gk | Owner: phoul Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Community/Tor Browser Manual | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: ------------------------------------------+-----------------------
Comment (by arthuredelstein): Yes, as far as I know, the manual is currently the identical for all platforms. I see two possible alternative solutions: 1. Add a patch to torbutton to send the user to the appropriate link for a given platform: `https://tb-manual.torproject.org/${platform}/en-US`. (I don't think tb-manual.torproject.org should be responsible for detecting the Tor Browser platform.) 2. Change the manual so there is a single version for all platforms on each locale: `https://tb-manual.torproject.org/en-US` Both of these options are easy to implement. The disadvantage I see for (1) is complexity. Do we really need a separate manual for each platform? And if we do have a separate manual for each platform, are we going to need separate screenshot images for each platform? I guess the main difference in usage Tor Browser platforms has to do with installation and startup. Right now, there isn't such a page, but if there were, it could simply have a section for each platform. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20739#comment:2> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
