[tor-project] Infographic about Pluggable Transports

[Isabela]

Hello there,

This is a great idea Nima, thanks for putting it together.

I think before collecting data (which might take more work than we
think, who knows) we should review the audience we are focusing here and
what stories we want to tell in the infograph then list the data we
should get.

Infograph are stories, we will start with the story that tells how to
use it. Then there is another section with other stories -- if our focus
is for new users or users who doesn't know PT because never had to used
it, than listing some of these things might just confuse more than help
or be too much information.

I think this is a great thing. Based on David and Linda's research
people tend to just pick the first option in the drop-down menu. This
will help educate people what the other options are etc. People also
don't understand all those PTs names listed there, what is the
difference etc :)


>> - List of PTs under development

I think this goes in the 'extra weight' package if our public is the one
I describe above.

I think we should tell a story with this information -- is much better
for someone to digest and understand the meaning of numbers this way.

For instance, instead of just saying the average clients per day we
could (also?) give a real world case of a censorship event and the usage
growth due to it.

Sounds good.

I would do the same thing here, based on the audience, do we need all this?

I am happy to join a session on irc to look for what data/story we could
tell on the infograph. I just can't do it today because of other work I
said I would get done.

Cheers,
Isabela
