Old description:

> This is the master ticket that keeps track of all tasks for redesigning
> torproject.org.
>
> You can keep track of the project at its project page
> [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/UX/TorProjectWebsite
> here].

New description:

 = Background =

 Currently, torproject.org has out of date content, inconsistent styling,
 circular navigation, doesn't link to all the torproject-related pages
 (research.torproject.org, for instance), and, in general, is good at
 introducing Tor and giving the download the link to the users (but does
 other things suboptimally).

 We think that torproject.org can do so much more--give developers a
 starting place to land, give tech support to new Tor users, gather people
 that want to be involved in the community, give an overview of Tor Project
 Inc., and much more.

 = Objective =

 The objective is to update torproject.org to be up-to-date, easily
 maintained, and provide useful content to the people that visit it.

 For starters, we want to make torproject.org all about the browser and tor
 project organization, and host other content at dev.torproject.org,
 support.torproject.org, and community.torproject.org. We'll start with
 taking inventory of all the information on the current site, brainstorm
 what content we want on the new site, and try to create a website that can
 provide useful information for various people who want to do more than
 just download the browser.

 = Misc =

 This work will be funded by
 [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pmknfCSWGnVNv9fYdF44nIOV4ThiPKBx9rfAKVP3j2w/edit?usp=sharing
 SIDA] and incorporate work from
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/Website/MainSiteRedesign
 past efforts]. We did some work on the
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/UX/SupportPage support
 page] before this site-wide effort.
