Patrick noted:

This one is prominent since it can be opened from start menu. Not sure how many people are reading it though.

https://github.com/Whonix/anon-gw-anonymizer-config/blob/master/etc/tor/torrc.examples

Also https://github.com/Whonix/anon-gw-anonymizer-config/blob/master/etc/tor/torrc.anondist - exception this one only: but we cannot merge it soon. We might merge it for Whonix 15 when we include anon-connection-wizard by default.

Do you think people would look into https://github.com/Whonix/anon-gw-anonymizer-config/blob/master/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc.anondist?

Btw don’t bother updating Copyright © 2012 - 2014 (etc.). No need. If you think I should higher priority to update it, I could do an easy mass search and replace so little manual labor would be used for this.

The generic readme. https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-developer-meta-files/blob/master/README_generic.md - very prominent - because it gets used on any github repository. https://github.com/Whonix/sdwdate-gui, https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix, https://github.com/Whonix/onion-grater etc. everywhere.

Btw please don’t edit the upper part of github readmes. To change that content, that goes to debian/control such as for example https://github.com/Whonix/sdwdate-gui/blob/master/debian/control. From there, README.md is sometimes auto generated. 80 characters per line maximum. I am not sure how many people read package descriptions besides reviewers. Would be more important if any Whonix packages made it into packages.debian.org.
