Long Wiki Edits Thread

Whonix Team or Whonix Maintainers perhaps.

I hope you captured those edits I did to finish off that page just now.

EDIT: If you want to imitate Qubes, users who are not anonymous can upload a picture & attach their public PGP key ID.

Looks like. Otherwise we’d just rollback / skip my changes since I really just moved the contents.

Hm. We’re using team and maintainer synonym.

PGP key ID could be on a per-user profile page such as Patrick Schleizer - Whonix. The PGP key IDs on a team page I actually consider too much. Better to just put the team into the foreground. If someone wants to contact someone, it’s fair to assume they would try to click them for future information?

Great, you got them.

Right. That’s a good split now.

Yes, fair enough.

Based on work to date, everything is now edited in the first few sections of the main ToC, except for “Screenshots” entry, so that might as well be finished off before security guide nits/splits.

@nurmagoz might be able to help with non-Qubes-Whonix screenshots that are missing or need updating there.

Anyone having any opinion about listing Forum Activity under role on the Contributors and Authorship page?

Thats’ a tuff call. Certainly enthusiasm and quality of any activity should be one of the main deciding factors. There are users such at goldstein-otg (formally Goldstein) that have been active with I2P integration as well as other sub-forums that would be deserving IMO.

Need to specific question. That was a question for current maintainers
listed there only which includes you. To ask you specifically… Would
you like the link to your forum activity listed under role?

sure , just put the links on a separate topic for which subject of the wiki u want new screenshots and i will add them eventually.

Ohh. :slight_smile:… I thought you were creating a new role so active users that didn’t quite fit in any other maintainers spot could have a place in the list.

To answer your question .Yes please.

Done!

Great! Your forum activity is now linked from the Name column.

However, if you like… If you think this is useful…

From the Name column we could link to Whonix Forum instead. (Or other link of your choice.) Used as personal homepage or profile page link.

Also… If you like… If you think this is useful…

The link to your forum activity Whonix Forum could be moved back to the Role column. I was wondering if anyone would prefer to keep it was it was before.

Sorry for the confusion. That all makes sense. I’ll wait a little while to see who wold like to make those changes

Forum ActivityRole

Name columnhttps://forums.whonix.org/users/User_Name … personal homepage… etc…

Then I can make all of the requested changes at the same time.

No replies from qubes team “comments to use Qubes onion repository”

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2623

  1. I should move forward with pull request?

  2. Testing best practices?

    a) add changes to my own system and make sure comments work correctly

    b) build qubes iso with changes to make sure everything works OK

Yes, please. You were right on track with your posting. Just now
commented on that ticket wrt which style I would prefer.

  1. Testing best practices?

b) build qubes iso with changes to make sure everything works OK

In theory, yes. In practice, I am guilty of not checking in such cases.
I doubt they’ll require you do to so.

a) add changes to my own system and make sure comments work correctly

That’s nice.

Software - Kicksecure isn’t the best place?


This very chapter: Dev/Qubes - Whonix
Could you please test? And document a bit better?

Also the following…

Qubes R3.2

http_proxy=http://10.137.255.254:8082 gpg.anondist-orig --recv-keys ...

Qubes R4

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8082 gpg.anondist-orig --recv-keys ...

Would then be possible. What would be a good place to document this?

Could you please add the items from Install Additional Software Safely to System Hardening Checklist?

I’ll find a home

Most certainly! I need to start building my networking knowledge. Thats where I’m the weakest. :slightly_smiling_face:

Qubes{3,4}

http_proxy=http.......gpg.anondist-orig --recv-keys

Finding a good place will be important since many users will find this useful. I look around when testing is completed.

If torjunkie doesn’t get to it first but I suspect that will be the cases. Some people are just born with gifts. :astonished:

Fixed. Plus I cut down the wordiness of the list, which was too explanatory in parts (footnote is better).

Thanks buddy. A little lift after my wiki meltdown :wink:

Other →

1. Template:Professional_Support_Skills (nits, since I think only you can edit it)

→ Full stop needed after “Shell scripting”
→ “Threat Modeling” → “Threat modeling”
→ Footnote 1, change to “One example can be found here.” (embed link in “here”)
→ Footnote 5, change to “Technical and other content may require minor edits to meet specific editorial standards.”
→ Suggest the title change to “Professional Services”
→ Suggest the first line change to: “Patrick Schleizer can provide professional support in various IT domains, including but not limited to:”

2. Whonix 14 release announcement

→ Realized we should add the 35% reduction in image size to that draft, maybe something like:

“Reduced the size of the default Whonix (.ova) images by 35 per cent, using zerofree” [reference]

Uploaded new whonixcheck_cli.png screenshot to replace to old one. I’m not sure if the new screenshot is large enough.

Needs a revision. Lots of the descriptive text is technical and should be moved elsewhere or restructured.

  • python based
  • creates config
  • config file locations
  • relationship with tor-launcher upstream

Not the focus / not user centric. Move to https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/Anon_Connection_Wizard, to anon-connection-wizard/README.md at master · Kicksecure/anon-connection-wizard · GitHub or elsewhere; or move to the bottom of the wiki page?
