--------------------------------------------+------------------------
Description changed by cohosh:
Old description:
> The GetTor email help message says
> {{{If you are unsure, just send a blank reply to this message.}}}
> but sending a blank message results in another copy of the help message.
> Should this produce a more detailed help message? If not, maybe delete
> that text?
>
> The GetTor email help message also only gives the valid keywords without
> explaining what they are. For example, it would help to know that
> "mirrors" gets me links to copies of the torproject.org website that I
> can use if I'm being censored or otherwise can't reach torproject.org.
New description:
The GetTor email help message says
{{{
This is how you can request a tor browser bundle link.
Send an email to: gettor at torproject.org
In the body of the email only write: <operating system> <language>.
We only support windows, osx and linux as operating systems.
}}}
Some things we can add:
- instructions on how to verify the signature
- instructions on how to get bridges?
