Help make a Tor Q&A page happen
We have been discussing setting up a Q&A page for a while now and have finally proposed a Stack Exchange page for Tor.
The detailed version about how we go from a proposal to a live page can be found in this FAQ, but here is a quick summary:
A user proposes a new page, other users follow said page, and users create and vote on hypothetical questions. Each user can only ask 5 questions and vote on other questions. Once the page reaches enough followers and questions with a high score, the page moves into the "Commit" phase. A small number of users will need to commit to help building the site. Once that's done, the page goes live and is considered to be in "Beta".
The proposal is currently in a "Definition" phase. To move to the next phase, we need (1) a high number of followers of the page, and (2) a collection of good, relevant questions.
If you want to help our Stack Exchange page happen, sign up on Stack Exchange, follow our proposal page, ask 5 questions, and vote on other questions.
Thanks!

Agree. We have to stop
Agree.
We have to stop talking to each other and focus on users interested in anonymity and circumvention that we *don't* know. Too much of the LibTech scene and beyond just wants to focus on themselves and small selective groups of "their" dissidents.
Set the tone Tor. What you do matters.

Page is not HTTPS encrypted. Can we safely register, login, post on an ordina http site with Tor?
What about sniffing, injecting, evil exit nodes?
Even if disabling JavaScript would render such risks negligible, "StackExchange works best with JavaScript enabled. Please enable JavaScript..."
Also, weren't you going to collaborate with Tails at AskBot? What happened to that idea?

I was going to ask why it seems to have been abandoned but then I realized that I can't recall you ever even announcing it in the first place.

They short answer is that they're working on it: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/69171/why-doesnt-the-stack-over…. You can safely register on the main Stack Exchange page, but you will be sending your username and password in the clear if you use Area 51 (unless you feel like logging on with one of the other options they have there).

I've signed up to the proposal page. Stack Exchange would make an excellent place for all Torists & a fantastic way to share our knowledge to a wider audience.
I doubt the Tor Q&A page
I doubt the Tor Q&A page will take off, seeing that Tor has not seriously implemented a forum for its users since the day TBB was available for download.
However, if and when it does launch, could Tor create separate pages for Chinese, Korean, Arabic and Farsi speakers. They are the most oppressed and internet censorship is widespread in their countries.
For starters, could Tor approach the staff of the following websites for help in recruiting native Chinese speakers to translate Tor's official website into Mandarin Chinese? They are:
http://www.theepochtimes.com/
http://chinadigitaltimes.net/
The abovenamed sites are run by Chinese dissidents who have fled China and settled in the USA.
I'd love to answer
I'd love to answer questions. I've been a Tor user and relay owner since Tor's beginnings.
IMO this idea is stupid.
IMO this idea is stupid. Fine, create your Q&A board, but if you're not going to give us a real forum after all of these years, someone with extra pocket change should create an unofficial forum dedicated to Tor and Tor related projects.
Tails' forum was terrible, it was more wiki than forum.
A majority of the people will not have the patience and/or skills to participate in a mailing list.
Voting on questions is stupid, votes, like poker decks can be stacked.
A real discussion forum is a better idea, where the community can discuss issues with each other, not hope their question comes up as a winner, this shouldn't be a Q&A roulette.
So, anyone up for creating real community forums?

Given Google's record, attitude and whole model when it comes to privacy, why would anyone committed to the principles at the core of Tor want to use Gmail?

Why is this a warning?
Why is this a warning? Facebook block IPs that they think are the source of missuse. Google does the same. There is nothing specific related to Tor about this blocking.

Will this stack exchange Q&A site support anonymous questions/answers? If not, will it be easy to create throw away identities?
I hope it doesn't require e-mail addresses, because it seems very hard to register many e-mail addresses securely over Tor today.

You need to download the bundle for the correct architecture of your machine. For Linux we offer 32bit and 64bit versions. See: https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#linux. There you'll see a 64bit version download link first and the 32bit one below. Choose the one that matches the one of your machine.
