Current Situation[edit]
Introduction[edit]
This page talks about Whonix ™ online hosting and (non-existing) testing infrastructure.
File Hosting[edit]
Hosted on whonix.org, downloadable using TLS.
Bug / Feature Request Tracker[edit]
https://phabricator.whonix.org [archive].
(Works much better than github for a project at this scale.)
Testing infrastructure[edit]
- CI build environment required.
- Automated Test Suite [1] required.
- whonixcheck
backend[edit]
Whonix ™ homepage backend[edit]
mediawiki[edit]
mediawiki advantages[edit]
- community contribution friendly - flagged revisions - usable way to allow anonymous users to edit and to let admins review changes before these go live
- seo - plugins provide good OpenGraph meta tags and meta settings (description, images)
- wiki templates
- footnotes
- expand buttons
- footer
- mobile view
- mediawiki markup text file backups (but are not easily importable)
- short and detailed buttons [archive] (probably not unique to mediawiki)
mediawiki disadvantages[edit]
- does not look that great
- our mediawiki skin "strapping" looks better than usual mediawiki / wikipedia with the huge space wasting sidebar that does not have much useful content related to the wiki page being viewed
- still does not look great (but perhaps another mediawiki skin [archive] could solve that)
- the table of contents at the top may not be great? Perhaps a table of contents on the left or right side (???) would be better?
- too much white spaces everywhere
- offline documentation not solved - https://forums.whonix.org/t/offline-documentation-discussion [archive]
- translations not solved
- data base is binary (mysql) (requires mysql data base)
- in other words: not flat file
- not easy "transparent" backups
- (Backup using git-mediawiki: https://github.com/WhonixBot/whonix-wiki-backup [archive] - that can probably not easily be restored.)
- (XML backup: https://github.com/WhonixBOT/WhonixWikiBackups [archive])
- cannot rebuild from clean human readable source files
goals for new website[edit]
- git based?
- prose.io (example [archive]) compatible?
- breadcrumbs navigation?
- javascript free?
- CMS free?
- bootstrap based?
- mobile friendly!
- illustrative images!
- quick page load times!
- footer links (legal, imprint)!
- seo!
Security[edit]
